I am Random.

Hello people (2 of them... YES !!!),

So i just watched I am Sam and it was really good. It wasn't your typical movie, nor was it your typical sad, soft movie. It might have had a sort of cliche storyline, but god damn the director did it well. It's about a mentally handicapped man named Sam and he has a daughter but the department of child welfare find that he isn't capable of raising her, but he thinks he can. He pours all of his time and effort into her and she does the same vice versa. It really made me think because when i was watching the movie i saw alot of people hating on him well not hating on him but treating him like less than a person. And i see this shit alot in our streets happening. As far back as i can remember i couldn't ever stand this sort of stuff, just the thought of something like that makes my heart rush, i don't know how to describe it well but it sort of feels like someone is squeezing my heart and i feel unsafe, like anything might happen. I know that sounds really corny and shit especially coming from someone like me since i would be the type of person who would do that shit to those people.

To me, their relationship is sad because someone like me can't comprehend how their relationship will last. There are so many variables in this world, nothing is a constant and if any one of those variables changes, then that may have drastic effects towards some people. Maybe we're all blind to the fact that we can't understand the way the mentally handicapped work, it's not how they work but we can't comprehend the simplicity. I'm not saying that they're a bad thing, because if you think about it, it's sort of a good thing. If you were always happy but you couldn't understand things others could would you be unsatisfied? You can't say you are because you wouldn't be aware that you were unsatisfied. It's a strange question and i think most of us would accept who we are because of our intelligence. Anyways, i think that the movie exposes the hardships of people with intellectual disabilities but to an extreme extent. It's sort of like Forrest Gump, but much more emotional. I think that societies put too much pressure and expectations on these people and i know many people can counter this argument with the fact that they should be treated like equals and i do agree but i'm not sure. As individuals we neglect these people, think to yourself the last time there was a mentally handicapped person on the train did you sit near them? If they were going to ask you for your help, would you help them? I'm pretty sure that most people wouldn't. Nature, it seems, defines us as selfish creatures. But not all hope is lost, there are those who in my eyes are truly "good" and i can say they are perfect. To me, they are. And it isn't because they cured aids or became really famous, no, it's because of the simple things. It's because you pick someone's shit up when they drop their stuff, it's because if you saw someone lying on the ground you would call an ambulance and ask if they were ok, it's because if you saw someone crying in a hallway you would sit down next to them and try to help them. Those are just some examples, but i think you get what i mean. You gotta save the world, and 1 person can make a difference.

Peace out,
The King of Random
