WANT
"Sometimes in life, we move, ever so gradually, towards a life defined more by what we hate than by what we love. It’s difficult to gauge, but you notice it when you say things like, “Oh, I hate this song…” And it’s then that you realise that you have begun to define your tastes, your life, your points of view, through negative abstractions. Disliking things in general is not psychologically malign, but allowing a negative attitude to grow and master your senses of perception is incredibly harmful. It’s often a sign of deep rooted bitterness. Love is a powerful thing; never more so when you are hurting or angry."

I think people live their lives faster nowadays. With IT, ease of travel and much higher mobility it makes every thing run so fast. Its easy to feel that you are standing still even though you are going flat out. Maybe that is what you are feeling now. Some days I feel the same.
I think maybe it is good to pick one thing to look at and work on it with some depth to feel grounded and more fulfilled. I teach in part for that effect. I keep doing Yr 1 again and again for a decade. It takes some doing.
Maybe I come from a more meandering, less demanding time where there is much more time for introspection and no great concern if things took their natural course.

Strangely, managed to catch this. Movie started out with promise but kinda fell flat at the end. Gaspard Auge’s cameo was quite hilar though.
Soundtrack - nice in an experimental kinda way. http://www.tinymixtapes.com/music-review/mr-oizo-gaspard-augeacute-rubber-ost

"Those that go searching for love
only make manifest their own lovelessness,
and the loveless never find love,
only the loving find love,
and they never have to seek for it."
