I watched a movie.

It was called "Envy." It stars Jack Black and Ben Stiller. I thought it was going to be a good movie. Instead, it was just go. I like Ben stiller a bunch. I think he's a funny guy. Can't say the same for Jack Black. There was not enough Ben Stiller in this movie. Either that or there was too much Jack Black. It was a good story in that it was about a friend's unconditional love for his best friend. But, they beat a dead horse. Seriously. And that made a good story not as good. I gave it a "4" out of "10."

Now, here's a quote from C.S. Lewis
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and pertubations of love is Hell.


And we are commanded to love.
