Title
One Movie Line At A Time
Bio
Growing up loving movies, and quoting infamous lines, N. Jordan is about taking life's given competition and embracing it through movies quotes. Each posting reflects a personal understanding on how movies effect people, our lives and our fake realities. If life is a movie, why do we compete in so many ways? Sports, love, relationships, family, business, money, career, kids, etc. Its time to see who is keeping score. Because... life is sometimes an altered reality, just go at it one movie line at a time. My real name is Michelle Keifer. But, I've always wanted to talk about life through a guy's perspective. Just seemed so fitting as I've always been just one of the boys. Go New England Patriots!

#73 “Be good.” E.T. - E.T. :The Extra-Terrestrial 1982

Rate: 0 Flag

etBe good!!! That’s right…. Be good and good things will happen to you. Be awful, and you might be screwed. Well.. not necessarily, but remember karma is an ugly thing. If E.T. knew the concept of “good” so many years ago; do we as humans know the concept of good so many seconds ago? If creating a positive great enviornment is about creating the perfect reality; why do we compete knowing that being bad just sometimes sounds good?

There is a right and a wrong to everything; no matter who tells you different.

There is a conceptual reality in knowing that right is sometimes not necessarily the greatest or warmest welcome. That sometimes doing what’s right doesn’t offer you the greatest payback. Sometimes you don’t get what you want from being right; but, you get the respect from not being bad. I used to recall knowing that being bad was something that made you appear “dangerous”. If being dangerous is about being bad; why isn’t it safe to say that being good is being grand?

Who knows what reaction you may get from the goodness you exude. But, knowing you are doing the right thing; does that constitute forgiveness?

I often at times let myself down by doing the right thing. I often at times know that sometimes being good doesn’t necessarily mean others like the greatness. It can be overpowering and definitely overwhelming always being perfect; so you have to incorporate bad to make it less complacent. You have to incorporate a balance to make it not as idealistic.

Do people try too hard sometimes to be “good”?

Why, or better yet, who, are we trying to prove ourselves to? If your conscience speaks louder than words, and your heart is warmer than a flame from a fire; are you doing what is best to prove a point? Try to walk around and see the good in people. Try to walk around and hear the good come out of people’s mouths. In a negative world we only fail. In a positive world, all we can do is know what is right; even if it doesn’t  make you feel the greatest at the end of the day.

“You must be dead, because I don’t know how to feel. I can’t feel anything anymore.” - Elliot

E.T. may be from a different planet, or even existence; but, its ok to give people a chance. Its ok to give other’s your thoughts. 

 ”Be good”! I taught him that too!” - Gertie
