Defensive Plans

There’s something about most of the movies which have been on screen; the lines which may somehow inspire people, philosophically, probably; lines which embed into the heads of many, thus using it as the quote for certain period of time. From the recent movie, where some of us quote the line of why so serious, another inspiration is obtained. We live within the rules, with our very own principles, aims and plans. When things go accordingly, within the range of reception, we feel nothing, though it may be something to the others; however, we may go panic, crazy and mad whenever the plan is not the original plan of ours. Not many of us have plans for the path of which we are about to take, but it doesn’t mean we don’t, nor it means we can’t. From time to time, we meet people who actually do, who would plan their lives from head to toe, from waking up in the morning to entering their dreams, from purchasing items at one particular store to where they dispose the unwanted leftovers. Perhaps we just can’t accept the unexpected at times, where things may be out of our control, where we would feel insecure, where we never want to be the last who know what might happen in the future, our future. We are all defensive, and we definitely would react when we should be; it could be a smile, an angry face, the teary eyes, a punch, a curse and the list goes on. Be it a plan of getting straight A’s, a plan to win a seat in the parliament, a plan of winning one’s heart, a plan to do whatever we want, they all share the one thing in common, whereby they are all plans for planning a better us, creating a better situation, for us and the dearest.
