I watched "3 Billboards in Ebbing, Missouri" last night with my wife on Amazon Prime. This movie really gets inside your head and emotions a lot so be careful watching it. "The Shape of Water" really "kicks your ass" in this way too, so be careful of both these movies if you are already unraveled about something in your life playing out.
This title statement is a statement from the movie which is very appropriate.
The problem in life as I see it is that though life is survivable it is often not fair.
So, people who seek justice often are disappointed because justice is blind.
God might create justice at some point but people are completely incapable of justice from my point of view.
So, from my point of view everyone victimizes everyone in different ways which makes justice impossible to find (real justice).
So, as you watch this movie, separated from her husband try to get justice for her raped and murdered and burned daughter you see the problem with trying to get justice up front and personal.
Because the one who demands justice often dies in the process of demanding that justice in reality too.
Or they go insane trying to create justice by taking it out on others who are not guilty out of frustration of wanting justice.
So, my point of view that life is usually survivable but justice (unless God is doing this) is mostly out of reach for most people on earth (and might always be).
Which is why Jesus came up with Forgiveness which is a type of compassion which Buddha came up with which one has for themselves and others.
So, to me, forgiveness and compassion of oneself and others makes a life worth living possible.
Otherwise, no life (no happy life) is possible here on earth.
