[QUOTE="MrNiceGuy, post: 830369, member: 261"] My views aren't based upon pop culture but much like Jesus used parables to illustrate things, I use pop culture as visual aids to what I am referencing. Like 'Dream On', a 1990s HBO show wherein things said were followed by a silver screen moments solidifying the impact with eye candy. Hammering home nails. The neighbor guy in American Beauty was severely homophobic because he denied his own true feelings. To deny yourself is to hate yourself & be outwardly hateful as a shield to hide your true self. You will be miserable all the live long days of your life. I know Kevin Spacey is on the naughty list nowadays but his character in American Beauty is what people should attempt to emulate in the end. We work our asses off and the humdrum of our daily lives drive us to be emotionally adrift; cynical & jaded. Detached. He reaches for having sex with a much younger woman as a means to the end of his longing only to realize it is fools gold because it won't make her nor him any happier. Then in the end as he sits there flipping though a photo album of the true love he has lived he knows a satisfaction of existence that is so fulfilling to his heart & soul that even a bullet to his head cannot deny. He died happier than the homophobic homosexual neighbor will ever live. And he is better off having died happy than the guy who shot him is living in misery. Be yourself. Because there is no happiness in living lies. Comprende? [/QUOTE]
