Thoughts upon watching Cloud Atlas.

Freedom is a comforting illusion reliant upon our ignorance of the minute and multitudinous forces which, moment by moment, compel us towards inevitable action. However, as we tumble through space and time, we should always be cognizant of the doorways which occasionally appear beside us. When such opportunities manifest themselves, we should choose to do what we cannot do and then, for a moment at least, we will truly be free.

It was that kind of movie. Now I'm going to do another painting. What compels me to do that? Tomorrow, I shall do something I cannot do.
