on with the Quotes....
I'm not usually a big Nicole Kidman fan, but ended up watching "The Interpreter" with Sean Penn, I think it came out last year. I don't recall it being a huge hit, but I vaguely remember hearing about it. It was actually pretty good, but that isn't my point. Since I seem to be on an endless crusade for inspirational quotes I take from songs, TV, movies, or wherever I can find them.....I was surprised I found one I could take with me from this flick......
Nicole's character is from Africa where she grew up in some tribe-like culture where they believe that in order for a family grieving from the death of a loved one, they must save the life of someone else. She used this example..... a family watches from the shore as the man who murdered their loved one is tossed in a body of water and left to drown. Though their anger and hatred may want to let the man drown, according to their belief, if they do nothing and let him die, they will forever be haunted by their grief. If, however, they jump in and save this life, they will not be forced to live out the rest of their lives plagued by grief. Interesting belief The quote that has me so intrigued says something to this affect:
"VENGEANCE IS THE LAZY FORM OF GRIEF."
Hmmmm......
