Blood is thicker than water; Think in 4 dimensions

Situational Update:

            I wont be pushing through with my trip to Vancouver, my mom went ahead, I decided to focus on my local engagements… in other words… my work, besides, its peak season for air travel, and as standby passengers, its tougher to get a seat if you are part of a family/group traveling together.

 

            Anyway, I saw Episode 3 with my sisters yesterday, great effects, great action sequences, hot Portman!, great jedi master Yoda, really dumb Skywalker… and as many have mentioned already… shallow script.

 

            So what are my thoughts and reflections on the movie?

 

1.      Blood is thicker than water…  no matter how well you train or mentor someone, chances are, they will strike out from you and radiate into their own interests. This is so prevalent in the workplace, especially in my field of work. Architecture in the Philippines is like the Caribbean during the colonial times, full of pirates, big empires and stragglers, screwing each other for booty. Most of the time, you can trace architectural career lines based on which architect/developer did he/she screw, or which client did he/she pirate to start his/her own practice.

2.      Learn to think in 4 dimensions… Yes, Anakin actually did bring balance to the force, if he did not step into the dark side, he wouldn’t have learned the yang of the jedi yin, thus he wouldn’t have been able to balance things and eventually correct them in episode 6. It was just a matter of time. (the fourth dimension.
