Happiness

I have spent my whole weekend playing netball. Recently I had forgotten how happy it made me just to get out and do sport. I'm not the best at it, I'm not even close but god I have fun. I love the atmosphere of having good people, friends, around you and having something to all enjoy together. To me this is real happiness; being happy with other people.
I cant ever imagine being a solo artist, making music by myself, releasing CD by myself. I honestly would never be happy with that because it wouldn't make me happy. My friends make me happy, laughing and smiling makes me happy, sport makes me happy, succeeding makes me happy but the happiest I've ever been is when I was serving others. It does something to your soul, so unexplainable, something so profound that you just smile for days after.
True happiness is not about you as an individual, it is impossible to find happiness this way. To be happy you must first truly love others.

What Is A Worldview?

Stage 3 English is kicking my butt at the moment. I'm good at english, I always have been. I've also always enjoyed it but recently we've been looking at philosophy and world-views. What is a worldview? Seriously how do I even answer that, why should I even answer that?
My teacher keeps telling me to look deeper and ask my self more of why I think what I think but the truth is that all my decisions go through this process:
1. Does it benefit me or not?
2. Do I want to do it or not?
Sometimes there doesn't have to be a 'good' or meaningful reason for any decisions you make.

LUCY Movie Review

I had high hopes for this movie. The trailer for this movie is so epic with Scarlett Johansen looking like a badass and Morgan Freeman's voiceover. My first thought was it's going to be just like Limitless but the trailer looked different so I went to see it and I have to say I was dissapointed.
The premise is great, the acting is great, except for the random flashes back to evolution the first 30 minutes is very capturing. Then it get boring, all I could think is I get it, she can do cool things. By this time I wanted more plot. Having random drug dealers chasing her wasn't enough anymore.
Don't even get me started on the end. You don't get any answers but not in an Inception way more in a the writers didn't really know what the end was going to be before they started shooting and this was just what they came up with on the spot.
The movie is very philosophical in parts, especially in concern with time. It messes with your brain a bit. The parts where they discuss time are the only really interesting parts of the movie that make you think at all.
