"You'll figure that out. The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you."
-Bob
Lost in Translation 2003
Bob and Charlotte; Charlotte and Bob. A country together; yet worlds apart. If two people come together in circumstance and two people are present together in commonality; are they existing together in foreign territory? It's the what happens when two people speak without purpose theory, that draws the conclusion, that words sometimes, just aren't powerful enough.
Honestly, what is the end game?
When we draw conclusions to the existence of words and how they are separated by the actions we speak; we appear lost in translation, and found, perhaps in the spirit of the moment. A man finds his escape, and a woman advances her loneliness, as we learn about the characters; Bob and Charlotte. The question is; how have these two people; two different people, made sense out of that end game while in such circumstance?
I often wonder why there has to be an end. Why there has to be a definition of the relationships we have with people. Can't we just speak less, and act more often?
As inevitable as speech is to the language barrier of Tokyo, the more inevitable the lonely and the weary travelers in Bob and Charlotte expect to explore inside the life of Tokyo. If it is possible for two lonely and weary travelers to find the meaning between inevitability and yet, maintain fidelity; should we try to find meaning in people that are right in front of us, instead of in a mind scope away?
What exactly justifies companionship? Is it when there are no boundaries, and that conclusion enlists an off-limits in unknown foreign territory?
When words are just words; it becomes up to the interpretation of the message receiver to understand exactly what was conveyed and what was meant to be delivered. I feel people take words for granted. I have to come to terms with the fact that words; as easily spoken, are often at times, not realistically defined.
Why do I compete knowing something I wish I didn't know?
It always amazes me when people want to know something; yet they can't find solitude in the information they have just received. Why is it that we as a society, seek to find answers and meaning in everything? If we let things go; find the status quo in words; I believe, we as people can come together with purpose, instead of mystery. I truly believe people compete who they are, more than they compete who they want to be.
Start living the life you want to lead and stop hoping someone will interpret it for you; because it still won't make sense if you don't understand their point.
Does it take an airplane to know that you can travel the greatest journey; yet, the journey to self discovery, starts within your own ora? Just thinking about travel gets people in a rush to feel like they are someone else. The invincibility of a foreign country or even a tropical destination makes people act differently. Why do we walk around so proud and so confident in foreign territory? Is it because we've done our research, or, simply, we have nothing to lose; because no one knows us?
Speak loudly, yet walk with a clear path. Whisper softly, yet lean in for that last ounce of solitude.
We rush our words in conversation, yet, we speak so profoundly when its time to be heard. I hear you loud and clear; however, its my translation of the meaning that has me completely lost. Define yourself today. Give yourself a word; a sentence, or a symbol that speaks your mantra. If you know who you are, I'm pretty damn sure the world will soon figure it out as well. If not... I guess there is always a dictionary; but, thats also up to interpretation.

Thank you cartouche for your comment.
Cap'n Parrotdead... I will take that "interesting" with good meaning :-)
Tart & Soul.... it is most astounding to realize just who you are after you see yourself in different surroundings. Thank you for identifying that identity is really up to the individual. Great idea!
Noirville Ledenrocker... Point taken. We will hopefully wow you soon.
Thoth.. you are hands down so great!!! Thank you.
I have a tough time separating RL from movie experiences (since I'm very much into movies as well)... nearly every hour I have some type of movie flashback in response to something that happens in RL... sometimes just ONE word is enough to cause this.
and I'm not going to analyze why this happens so frequently to me... just the way it is ;-)
Thanks for your comment!
