A really cool video

Dear readers, you might have become bored with my usual blog entries. So if you feel like it, you are welcome to watch this video and hear the answer for a quote I had to copy: "How did a seventy-year old drama about small town in New Hampshire filled with average people living unremarkable lives become America's most produced play ?"

As they say, "It is about the everlasting regret of all those moments of life that go unappreciated."
Cool, right?

    Awesome and true =)
    And the idea about appreciating every moment is quite speculative..
    ("if you did appreciate every moment while you're living it, you would be actually not living it, you'd be viewing it and categorizing it")
    It really makes me think! Does it actually mean that we shouldn't APPRECIATE every moment, but rather ENJOY it without appreciation?

    I feel that it tells us that to live means not to appreciate your life. And that is why the dead people realize that as Emily says: That's all human beings are! Just blind people.
    I guess this is our destiny not to appreciate it and then regret it...

    Terka, it´s amazing video and so are your (Adela´s and yours) comments.
    Probably, the quote of Adela that was said in the video (enjoy and don´t appreciate)is true.
    Sometimes you realize how "cool" the situation was after a few time.
    Just an example that I think matches this quote-Imagine our trips, it did not seem so awesome in the exact moment when we were there but it is NOW when we look at pictures and we realizes how great it was.(We enjoyed it and now we appreciate it)

    Something in that video reminded me of Neil Young's album "Greendale" -- I guess watching the Stage Manager narrate -- and perhaps this comment belongs to a previous post -- the album tells a story of a family in a small town, good and bad things happen, but most interestingly, perhaps (other than it being a great record) is that the characters acknowledge that they are just songs, and occasionally refer to "that guy singing these songs". One character even gets mad at him as he dies -- "Can't somebody shut him up? / I can't for the life of me figure out where he comes up with this stuff". In line with this blog's theme, in that story it takes a whole series of tragedies to get one character out living her life with force and imagination. And if she stopped to think about it, she wouldn't be living it -- she'd be thinking about it. Or, there's this guy: http://www.happyplace.com/9751/cartoon-proves-that-life-flashing-before-your-eyes-is-even-more-depressing-than-life-itself
