Everyone!

I watched a movie many years ago about a lion on a farm with two men and a boy. There was more to it but you know, that's all I rememeber from the movie. A quote in it really hit me and I've remembered it ever since. I forgot the name of the movie, but tonight, after participating in a very passionate discussion about Evolution vs the Bible, I searched for this movie via IMDb to find the quote. I just typed "lion" and the movie title just happened to be the first one that came up: Secondhand Lions.



So the quote I remember was something along the lines of: "Always believe in something. If you don't believe in anything, anyone can tell you anything and you'll believe it." It really really stuck with me. However I looked up the database today and found this quote: 

Hub: Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.

WHAT?! THAT'S NOT WHAT I REMEMBER AT ALL. I lived by that phrase! Either the quote I was thinking of wasn't on the website, or I made up my own quote. Did I just make up my own movie in my head?! I think I did! I think I did what Homer Simpson did and make up my own movie when I got bored!

Damn it, meg!

Homer: Wait, I'm confused about the movie ... so the cops knew Internal Affairs was setting them up?

Man: What are you talking about? There's nothing like that in there.
Homer: Well, you see when I get bored I make up my own movies. I have a very short attention span
Lady: But our point is very simple, you see when...
Homer: Oh look! A bird! Hee hee hee!
(Homer runs after the bird)
 
Anyway I still think that's a good thing to live by and yeah. Totally giving advice from my blog.
