7-22-2015: We watched the 1983 movie Flashdance this evening.
My favorite line in the movie comes when someone warns Alex that if one gives up one's dream, one dies.
So true. The natural ember of spiritual aliveness in our soul will become a raging beacon if we tap into the talent that God gave us, relentlessly apply ourselves, and do something with these gifts.
To do nothing is to die spiritually and intellectually.
To grow, perfect, do art and invent is to have that torch in our soul become so powerful and radiant that it could illuminate an entire planet.
Ironically, to follow our dream is to die socially, and be cast out by the living dead, the dull, uninspiring, grossly underperforming nonindividuators that never followed their dream, nor worked at anything.
