Reply To: The Myth in The Movie "The NeverEnding Story"

[unknown]

I read a book as a kid and watched movies then. The first book I bought in my life actually. 😀

“The emptiness cannot be destroyed. It had to be filled with love.”

Great quote. This and whole story is a metaphor of enthropy for me. I met some thougt in buddhism:

"Form is Emptiness, Emptiness is Form"

This could be equalivement between this story and buddhism philosophy. Emptiness and form go together. There isn't one without the other. To create fiction is to bring order and meaning to the life that can go against entrophy. To recognise nature of the world is different dimention than nature of life. If you alive you have to create fiction, this is what is life about. My point is ilustrated by example of patients ill from deppresion. As research shows people who suffered from deppresion often have very realistic and rational view on life. What they lack is a "positive ficions" that keep us going. I read about this in some therapy textbook.
