I always felt so bad for Oskar, having to walk 20 miles because he is too scared to take public transportation. His father was killed in 9/11, and knowing that fact, he is scared of possible targets for terrorists attacks. I had to wonder if Oskar ever wished that he could just teleport there. However, I also think Oskar would say that you need to work for what you want.
I always thought, when you wish that you could just get there already or teleport, you do. That is, in a way. Like maybe there are two universes and in one universe things happen when you snap your fingers, but in the other one, the one we live in, we have to do the work. So if you wish you could just be home, the other you is home, but you have to actually do the transportation to get there.
Ok, ok that's really strange but think about it. There is this conception of celebrities and other rich people who look like they made millions with no effort. Anyone who seems that they get something without effort, is just that. It seems that way. Most celebrities have to persevere, work hard, and have some sort of talent.
The funny thing is, people respect those types of celebrities more then some silly youtube video or Paris Hilton. People respect hard work, and I think that if you didn't have to put any effort into what you accomplished, things would have a lot less value. And if we don't value the things we do, then nothing has any meaning. If nothing has any meaning, whats the point of living?
