a slow process

i learned a few things today. important things for me, little, unimportant things for anyone else - possibly. yet if everyone knew them, if everyone could understand a lot of things would look different.
i am good at other things than all this horribly unimportant pc-stuff. this morning my dad and i went to my grandma to get my grandpa's car running again. when we came in i directly saw that she was not well (my dad ignored it more or less, he is just not that type of guy). after having done everything my dad drove around a bit to check and reload the battery and i stayed with my grandma. we talked about an hour, or better, i let her talk. and after she had told me so many things, so many little and possibly unimportant things, she said thank you and i drove off home. not everyone has to 'move something'. not everyone has to change the world. but you can try.
i kept thinking about this huge 'sense of life'-thing again. and when it gets to sense it always gets to reasons. why should person x, be it you, me, your least favorite teacher or your best friend, keep on living? what reason is there? but after tonight's experience i can say that there is one reason everybody should try to treasure and share, how hard it may seem. it's all about hope.
there was a movie on today. quite an unknown movie. yes, it starred robin williams and armin mueller-stahl but it was not one of this hugely-advertised productions. and it was good that way.
the movie is called 'jakob the liar'. i am not going to write what it's about (either you can read it in your local newspaper or here or [the method i would recommend] you just get and watch it) because writing what the story is like is not enough.
let's just say one thing: there's always hope. in the darkest corner behind the darkest bookshelf wrapped in the most smelly and ugly clothes you may have ever seen - there is hope. in every situation that seems go grow over your head, that seems to become too big, too important or too unbearable - there is hope. you just have to find it. or have good friends to find it for you.
