Kimjongilia

Is a documentary about North Korean citizens that found their way out of that country to find a new life.

What all of them had in common was that they were trying to escape.
Escape from the pain of being there and the fear of being beaten or worst, killed.

As the survivors tell their story, it’s very obvious that life there was hell and still is. But they really need to get away from all of that fake so called love of their leader Kim Jong Il.

There’s this part of the interview, where his death was taken so seriously, because the citizens there were thought that he was some kind of ‘god’.

I quote a survivor, “How Christians say grace to God before they eat, we say grace to Kim Jong Il.”

People thought that it would be the end of the world when he passed, because their ‘god’ has somehow died and no one was there to protect them. But a man, realize how stupid that was and made his decision to leave North Korea.

That got me thinking, do we stay in the lies of others?
Do we live in their mistakes?
Is there no way out?

I believe in “decisions”.

The decisions we make will always do good for us in the future or now, whatever it is. It’s because we choose whatever happens to us.
Even when we get into an accident, it’s the mistake of another that causes our sadness and pain, but we make the decision to get out of the ridiculous state of mind.

Pain and suffering comes after the storm, so that when it comes again, we would be more than ready to get hit again.

Life itself is a very ironic thing. Since we’re young, we’re always thought that there would be a happy ending at every “The End.”
and when we come to a place in our lives and it’s not how we imagine it to be, where all the smiles and laughter are replaced by tears and pain. I was reminded that, “If it’s not a happy ending, it’s not the end.”

Whatever is thrown at my face, I will take it head on with all my might to know that there’s always something bigger and better in the future. Because I know that whatever happens now is a gift from God, because I’m still alive and well.

They say, “It’s the journey that matters.”
no matter how my life ends, the main thing is how I got there.

This year in my life, I’ve met real awesome people.
Friends that I wish I never replace, experiences and memories I wish never be forgotten.

September ended, time to wake up. (:
