Dark Knight

Why So Serious? Life is temporary son!

by King Sidharth on August, 2009

I love this dialogue from movie – The Dark Knight

Why so serious son?
-Joker (Heath Ledger) The Dark Knight

Detaching from film, it is indeed a thought provoking question. Why are we so serious? What is it?
I see my peers walking around with expression on their face as if they are acting in a horror film, and guess what? They are not being to act that way!

One of my school mates, who attended one of my workshops came to me and shared a problem with me. She said she was going to commit suicide! I asked her same questions, and asked her if there was one reason to be so serious? She said there wasn’t! We are not supposed to act that way. Everything we are doing is to be happy, to feel joy!

What are you looking for? Are you looking for some great joy? You are joy!
-Sri Sir Ravi Shankar

Do you remember what you used to wear when you were five years old? Probably not, and even if you do, does it matter? Does it affect who you are? Are you afraid of it? No!

It’s all gone, it’s past. Life is temporary. Believe it or not it is.

The point of power is always in present movement.
-Louise L. Hay

Forget what happened yesterday, its gone – like a bad movie. Forget what is to come, it will be gone. Live in present, Be happy! Laugh!

If you are awake, living in present; you’d see stupidity around you. It’s a great comedy show. Just watch a group of people talking, giving their focus and attention to unnecessary things. From cats to neighbors, they will talk about everything they can’t do anything about and have nothing to do with them. You can instantly change the topic by one sentence. Its fun!

Enjoy the comedy show, in your heart you know it’s all temporary, if you won’t consequences will be dire. You know what joker said, don’t you?

Why so serious son? Let’s put a smile on that face.
-Joker(Heath Ledger) The Dark Knight

And you know his way of putting a smile, don’t you? So life is going to put a smile on your face anyways. You have choices.

I enjoyed the movie just because of the Joker role the way he portrayed his role. I often remember dialogue of “If you don’t deal with this soon here little gambol won’t get nickel for his gradma” among gangster. I enjoyed it
