gratitude

"I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday."
--Lester Burnham; American Beauty

A woman who can quote Lester Burnham in a positive manner? My goodness, I have no words for this wonderful thing.
The movie was brilliant and Kevin Spacey is amazing. The social contexts on this film hits home on so many levels - I'm glad to find another person who appreciates it.
^_^
Ditto. It's seems to capture life a lil too well...I could identify with nearly all the characters, and that just scared the crap outta me.
Agreed...by the end of the movie, even I wanted Kevin Spacey.
