I saw the movie 'Cast Away' tonight and was completely moved by it.
It's about a FedEx employee 'Chuck Noland' who gets stuck in a deserted island after his plane crashes and stays there for four years with no way out, he somehow transforms and survives the ordeal.
In the movie once Chuck hurts his hand while trying to start a fire and wipes his blood on a volleyball that was in the FedEx parcel and to get rid of his loneliness he draws a face on that volleyball and names him 'Wilson' to keep him company.
Four years he fought every second to live and fought the desire to kill himself while the only thing that shared his misery was a volleyball.
After years a ripped off tin door came with the tide and he got some hope. He made it into a sail, made himself a catamaran and decided to head to the sea and find home.
The sea got rougher as he sailed forth and he lost his sail, his catamaran started to break, and one stormy night while he was sleeping Wilson the volleyball drifted off to the sea. Chuck wakes up to find him feets away and screams and swims for it, but he can't reach it. He takes a rope from a catamaran so he doesn't lose his only hope to reach home and swims for Wilson, but in the midway the rope falls short.
Now what will Chuck do? Leave the rope for Wilson who has been his only friend through all this or go back to the catamaran.
Of course Chuck takes the rope and left Wilson in the sea. One reason cause well........it was just a volleyball..second cause he had to keep living.
How many times we have lost our friends, family , loved ones because the storms of our life had drifted them away from us?
And still here we are, moving on...cause we had to live. Because you never know what the next tide will bring.
Because life moves on....with or without them, and other things will come along to make our future.
And to those Wilsons whom we left behind...we are sorry that it wasn't forever and we cherish every memory with them and will forever remember them for the strength they gave us in times of need. But we had to let them go to live.
