It Makes U Think
On New Zealand TV tonight, the movie “The Angriest Main in Brooklyn” is playing. If you haven’t seen it, the story is about a perpetually angry man who learns a brain aneurism will kill him in about 90 minutes. He has to come to terms with his fate and make amends to everyone he has hurt.
I can relate to it. I’ve just been diagnosed with a second aortic aneurism and am waiting to find out the level of threat to my life that it carries. But I am hoping for more than 90 minutes in which to contemplate the end of my life.
Can you really make amends for a hurt? I guess it depends on how forgiving the hurt person is. Only they can decide what is amended or not. And sometimes you don’t even know that you’ve hurt someone. They may carry a grudge silently. How do you make amends then?
My teenage years have seemed the worst until now but old age is beginning to rival them.
