I thought Catrina's blog on Red was very thought provoking. Catrina said in her blog two things that I found very interesting; "The family survives on self deceit, as clearly the daughter knows about her father's affair. They choose to live life ignoring its imperfections, so to undermine that structure would be wrong. " and "No situation is straight forward, no person is as they seem, and there can be no single truth." These were very powerful statements to me and I feel like everyone can take these messages in and see how they fit within humanity and their own lives. To choose to live a life that ignores its imperfections is in a way a perfect life. As it is commonly said ignorance is bliss. If someone chooses to live their life in a way that ignores everything that would be an imperfection to them and get them down or feel anything less than positive would be a very uplifting way to live life. If all of the imperfections could actually be ignored life and the world around us would be 'bliss.' The other remark that Catrina made "No situation is straight forward, no person is as they seem, and there can be no single truth" is scary but true. The fact that there may be no single truth keeps this world more open minded and it keeps people from being what they seem. Without a single truth people can always be deceitful and not as they seem because they don't have to be one way or another, they can do whatever they want and get away with it. So is the price that we pay for freethinking and no right answer is that we can trust no one?
