"All a man needs in this life is someone to love. If you can't give him that, give him something to hope for. If you can't give him that... give him something to do."
Liddle
Flight of the Phoenix
2004
As we embark on another Monday, some of us are starting our work week, some of us are closing in on our work week, and others are waking up to the sound of birds chirping, and the wind blowing as they enjoy a day off from all the hustle and bustle.
It is true that given the tools, you can in someway build anything? It is true, that given the idea, you can dream up a miracle? It is true that given a circumstance with nothing but objection, it can give a craftsmen an obligation to re-build, with perfection?
This is the second movie surfacing on the concept of the Flight of the Phoenix. The first film brought to the big screen was in 1965 and starred James Stewart. Both films circled around the concept that re-building was ultimately the only option to getting out of the desert in which their plane crashed, before the food and water became more and more scarce, and the men became more and more agitated.
I think about life's given competitive nature when dealing with circumstances that push a man to flash forward and act.
I think about when we tackle new challenges and overcome those objections that put us in awkward moments. Given a duty, a task, or a purpose; it suffices the understanding of a man's contribution to society, his family and himself. Encouraging that existence when given opportunity is like a plane with both wings. You have to think beyond the task, and think more about what makes a man feel important.
Is it true that without love, or a task, a man is empty? Is it true that without a challenge in sight, a man isn't complete?
Love, worth, dedication, and desire are all powerful concepts. They go beyond the word on print, and beyond the interpretation in dictionaries or textbooks. These words define a man, and these words become a man's existence. As we continue to discuss airplane movies and films that involve airplanes as the catalyst, we can see a trending observation; airplanes mean something different to each and everyone of us.
Airplanes are a luxury, a commodity, a form of transportation, a survival mechanism, an incumbent, a tool box, a view from the sky, and a bird with strong wings.
Each step we take, each hand we shake; we are ultimately making our way through the world in which we live, with power. We are defining our worth, our dedication, our love and desire in each one of our interactions. If it takes a desert, a stranded crew, and a second chance to live, we must ask ourselves; do we fly it?
