Acceptance of others – a wisdom worth learning. 5/365

Just finished watching ‘Due Date.’ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1231583/ It had its good moments, so I can’t say I disliked it. Three thumbs up, may be? But worth a watch. The strength of the film is the cast.

Besides making you think about that cross-country road trip that you’ve always wanted to take, it had some chuckles and some of life’s bigger lessons. What stood out for me was the growing comfort and friendship of total strangers despite irrationally bazaar events and circumstances of everyday life, caused by one of them, mostly. Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis (the guy from Hangover) were a good match for the characters.

Alas, the world is big enough to hold the “weird” people and the “normal” people at the same time. Each character learns to accept the other for exactly who they are. So whether you think you’re on the “weird” side or part of the “normal” bunch, my suggestion is to learn to accept. You will be doing yourself a favor of a lifetime.
