Father and fear

Herbert 2022-03-15 09:01:03

"It dawned on me, fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present, and may not ever exist . That is near insanity, Kitai. Now, do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice. We are all telling ourselves a story. And that day, mine changed.” “Root yourself in this present moment now . Sight, sound, smell. What do you feel?" This line is amazing, simple and clear, yet full of meaning and emotion. Use a movie to tell your son what you want to say most, walk the road by yourself, even if you are not by your side, be with you, don't be afraid.

After Earth quotes

  • Cypher Raige: Inventory up.

    Kitai Raige: Roger. Food rations, half available. Flares, full. Med kit, half available. Breathing fluid... Breathing fluid, four vials available.

    Cypher Raige: [looks Kitai's heart rate increases] Why are you not showing me the case?

    Kitai Raige: What?

    Cypher Raige: Show it to me now.

    Kitai Raige: I thought that I could make it, sir.

    Cypher Raige: [after seeing the analysis report] Abort mission. Return to the ship. That is an order.

  • Kitai Raige: No, Dad. I can do it. I don't need many. I can get across with just two.

    Cypher Raige: You need a minimum of three inhalers to make it to the tail. You have exhausted your resources.

    Kitai Raige: I can get across. I can do it with just two, Dad.

    Cypher Raige: This mission has reached abort criteria. I take full responsibility. You did your best. You have nothing more to prove. Now return to the ship.

    Kitai Raige: What was your mistake? Trusting me? Depending on me, thinking that I could do this?

    Cypher Raige: I am giving you an order... to turn around and return to this ship.

    Kitai Raige: You wouldn't give any other Ranger that order?

    Cypher Raige: You are not a Ranger. And I am giving you that order.

    Kitai Raige: [pause] What was I supposed to do? What did you want me to do? She gave me an order. She said, no matter what, don't come out of that box! Was I supposed to just come out and die?
