Critical Reading the Scroll Marked II or Nine

I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscle can split ina shield and even destroy life but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of men and until I master this art I will remain no more than a peddler in the market place. I will make love my greatest weapon and non on whom I call can defend against its force. My reasoning they my counter; my speech they may distrust; my apparel they may disapprove; my face they may reject; and even my bargains may cause them suspicion; yet my love will melt all hearts like to the sun whose rays soften the coldest day.
And how will I do this, Og, my friend? I shall look on all things with love and shall be born again? Well, I am a monkey. I will love the sun, for it warms my bones (I do no have any, I am a toy-made). I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.
I will greet this day with love in my heart. Ok, I will do

Academy Awards special: 50 shades of fucked up

Well, even if kind of unrealistic and full of stereotypes, not a bad Academy Awards movie. The message of 50 shades of grey might be clear to those who know that kind of relationship.
For me, the story was kind of sad, because the love did not win and the guy was stuck in his past, ignoring and hiding his fears, pain and shame instead of dealing with them on his own and grow up and solve them. He was trying more to bring her obeying his rules, instead of breaking out of his fucked up understandings and make her and himself happy.
And she was a classical romantic and kind of funny, inexperienced and not realizing what does it mean to be really fucked up and how he is. Playing with him merely to his rules, brought her closer to him and she changed him bit. But for happily ever after, even for a movie was not enough. And he made her cry instead of happy.
What's the conclusion for me - you never can change a fucked up person no matter how much you love him. You can get fucked up instead. You can change him bit and this gives you a hope. You can show him that it could be different, but ultimately he is setting up the rules of his own life and he chose already for himself. Sadly, he had bad things to deal with, but who hasn't (even not to this extent)? He feels safer "emotionally unreachable" in his own mind not realizing that he is emotionally reachable and he already lost his guard.
however even if he wants to change, its a process which takes lots of time. And in changing he would be slapping her out of habit, but who wants to be slapped and humiliated when you love? Nobody who is romantic and put value on love and himself/herself. So, she walks away realizing that she cannot fix anything and leaves him with his shades of grey. The world is just colored and if he doesn't want to see it and open up...its sad, but its his choice.
that was my monkey review. 50 shades of grey won the Oscar?
