RealiT V.

2 nights ago I watched Money No Enough 2, and somehow the sadness of the old Mother, dying in hospital watching her children quarrel, comes through very easily, and everyone I know seems to have shed tears at that moment.

When I was confronted with a similar situation recently, I didn't seem to be very affected. An elderly relative of mine has refused treatment and no one seems to be able to talk her out of it. I'm not that close to her, I admit, but it puzzles me that a movie can evoke more sentiments in me than reality.

In fact, I seem to be more affected by that fact that I''m so unaffected.
