I have seen the entire Matrix series before and you are absolutely correct when you say you miss a crucial point with a blink of your eye.
But such movies are not for everyone. Only a limited section of viewers will be able to correlate the events together.
I loved watching it though it required loads of concentration and mental ability.

This is one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies, and I believe it is one of the best Sci-Fi movies made so far!

There was no abuse. Jasmine’s psycho-therapist put those false memories in her mind. That is why even if her brother agreed/apologised there would be no closure. It is like you accusing me of kicking your dog after a psychologist tells you that the reason you feel so upset is because I kicked your dog.

But it’s impossible, and although you might repeat the accusation, deep down you know it isn’t true. That is the same with Jasmine.

I believe we have a “memory vault” where the things that happen to us, and that contribute to who we are, are placed. Bad memories can get buried in self defense. Sadly they pop up when a person is triggered by new memories in their lives. We should use them as a teaching tool and then put them back. I don’t think you can clear the memory vault. I wish you could, but good or bad it is part of who you are.

It’s so sad that now, he will be on his own and I hope the mother will train him already to be independent before she also leaves this world.

I am happy that we were able to raise our only child, now a 26-year-old ladydoctor, specializing in General Surgery, to be independent as early as when she went to high school.

We didn’t pamper her with a lot of things, but we pamper her with good teachings necessary for equipping herself to be independent.

She grew up so independent, that I cannot feel at times that my guidance isn’t needed anymore.

To raise a child who can leave home and be successful, that is the greatest parenting. You can’t raise a child who needs you, who will always need you… will always be a child.

I don’t disagree with the list of countries. I only agree ~ scratch that ~ I am only not arguing about or even discussing the ban because the POTUS said it is just for 90 days.

I don’t agree with your questions at all. Not saying they shouldn’t be asked. It’s just not questions I would ask. Actually, I don’t really have any questions because … Trump said 90 days! It’s his timetable or timeline. He set it.

Evidently at the end of that period uuumm ________. What goes in that blank? Oh! I know! What’s everybody’s favorite words these days? “Wait and see!!”

As far the Executive Order is concerned we have to observe that it has got a life of 90 days only ie., just 3 months. The list of countries with Muslim majority included in it are 7. Unfortunately or otherwise, the list excludes the names of Saudi Arabia and also Egypt. Why the names have been excluded whether it is deliberate or an act of ‘oversight’ can not be said basing on the fact that Mr. Trump is a business man. We can not say that he has got business interest in his hotels and does require the patronage of the Saudi king. Had it been so, the name of Egypt is also not on the list. Egypt is under a brutal dictator. The leader of 9/11 attackers was an Egyptian. Has he to learn anything from him? A big question. Does he require a warm relationship with the General Abdel Fattah? The chances are remote for conclusions to arrive at.
But, we should not forget to observe that the names of the 7 countries included in the list were already flagged by Mr. Obama’s Administration titled under ‘COUNTRIES OF CONCERN’.
Why has Mr.Obama not issued an Executive Order like Mr. Donald Trump is not known?
Has he dodged the action?
Was he not interested in furthering action?
Didn’t Obama like to face a delicate situation by issuing an order like his successor?
Is Mr. Obama really heartened by the Immigration Ban Order of Mr. Trump as expressed in his first statement after leaving the office?
Is Mr. Donald overenthusiastic in passing the order?
These are the mutable points before arriving at any decision as there are no conclusive evidence to attribute reasons for eliminating the names of Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

Yes. I was shocked by it when I learned of the practice. It is terribly cruel and selfish.

Sad that some people have no conscience in doing that to their parents. How were they able to sleep peacefully, when they know that the very parents who loved and took care of them and gave them education, were put in a place where they cannot be disturbed.

Good thing, here in the Philippines, majority of the old people are being taken cared of their children until their death. The children loves their parents that’s why.

There are reports that are published about the most corrupt countries and also the nicest countries. I remember seeing reports on both. I remember one report that said Ireland was one of the nicest or “goodest” countries.

The information gathered about corrupt countries is informative but it is also very sad. The late Ray Charles sang a song with these lyrics: “None of us are free. If one of us is chained, none of us are free.”

You or we … have a tendency to review these reports and breath a sigh of relief when our country is not in the Top 10. But then, you have to think:
~ Is there no way the people in those countries can be set free?

If you’re in a corrupt country, with a ruthless regime, it’s worse than being a slave in chains!

I was scared we’d be in the top ten. We are in the top ten of the most dangerous cities…Kingston.

thank god india is not in this list …

Speaking corruption, the Philippines has a lot of corrupt officials. In fact, everyone is clamoring to enter politics because they want to enrich themselves through those projects being implemented in the place where they rule.

But with us having a new president now, so bent in curbing corruption and in fact, have relieved the whole management of its Bilibid prison, where drug lords have their shabu laboratories.

He has already a strict instruction that government employees should expedite all government trasactions and report those who asks for bribes.

I Hope this is the beginning of at least the lessening if not for the eradication of corruption in the government.

For people who don’t like to watch horror, they should read Edgar Allan Poe. The reading is so worth it!
