"Happy Endings" Feb 27th

I don't know how I felt about "Happy Endings" It was kinda cool to have all the different endings and different ways the story could have gone, but it was mildly depressing. The whole message was that no matter how it goes you die in the end anyway. So that made me think that why do we try to live a life that has a purpose if it all really doesn't matter because we die at the end no matter what. So then I got depressed and didn't like that theory anymore, because I don't really believe it. We all die, this is true, but we can either die happy or sad, fullfilled or empty, rich or poor, healthy or unhealthy, there are so many variables that can change the course of our lives. For some of us death will be a sad thing, an end to a happy life, leaving the one you love, for some its salvation, an out to a horrible life, some it may be just a thing to expect. Some of us will die with loved ones surrounding us, and some may die all alone. I don't think that death should be categorized in a story like this as inevitable and the end, but its more of the resolution to a complicated series of events that lead up to death, and the ending feeling when death comes should be what its all about.
