Unstoppable - The movie

I have just finished watching a film called unstoppable. It is a true story about a runaway train in the US  rail roads and the train was carrying 8 tanks of toxic and inflammable materials which have turn the train into a missile. Several attempts to stop the train but futile until two train drivers successfully hop on the train and stop the speeding train. If not for their bravery , a town of seven hundred thousand people could have been killed if the toxic material catches fire and explore.

As usual, the film is full of drama and  rhetoric  and entertaining. Putting all these entertaining stuff away, it shows that heroes are born out of crisis. When Evil spread its wings, an angel will be born. The weak will be strong and faint hearted will be brave. A crisis will bring out the strength in a person and will hold him together and will give him strength to stand tall and fight, Winning and losing is not important and by going through the process will be good enough.

We have heard of stories where people can lift cars to free victims during accidents or doing incredible feats when crisis confront them. The focus and the strong passion to do the right thing often draw the effort and strength to perform the extra ordinary.  Nothing is impossible if the right chemistry is at work.

We often ex amplify the situation before we confront it. The fear is the most crucial factor which undermine our strength and confused our focus. Sometimes, before we can do a thing, we already say that we fail or we cannot do it.  Such admission will caused us to lost half the battle before the war commence. When the two rail man needs to jump from a fast moving car on to a fast train, there was so much hesitation of the hero to jump and the word , " pussy" was final trigger which kick the driver to the jump and landed on the runaway train.

 Very often,we need the extra push before we take a leap or initiate a difficult action. It could be a word, a danger or a passion which make us to something different or special.  There is a Chinese saying " in difficult times, a hero is born". Basically, there is a hero in everyone of us and it depends on the timing,the occasion and opportunity  to show our bravery.

To all you good people . Do good everyday and use your unstoppable energy to stop the unstoppable train and make our life purpose driven.

Namaste.
