We All Have GIfts We Can Enjoy
I finally know why am I so hooked up on GA. Simply for the fact that the story are sometimes so painfully honest. The series does not hide situations and emotions that happens in life. It doesn't dramatise or play down honest emotions of the human heart.
Alex asked Meredith why is working on Thanksgiving, and Meredith told him that she doesn't want to be among happy people. She felt like a disease, and she doesn't want to infect the happy normal people. That line tug something in me.
George had to treat his dad after one of his brothers accidentally fire a shot at him after their "man-officiating" sorta turkey hunting outing. In the surgical room, George felt his brothers treat him as if he is stupid. He felt that the whole time, they make feel as if he is incompetent and that he is not one of the man of the O'Maileys (his family) yet. And that he is sick of the same old silly games they play all the time.
His dad explained that they felt stupid in front of George. He being a doctor, and them working as truck drivers, a painter and something else, I can't remember. He is proud of George, but at the same time, they felt he is not one of them, so they tried to make him a part of the family. And one of the ways they try is those silly games. They felt stupid when he is with them, cos he is so bright.
Isn't it such irony we humans have? Sometimes we think others make us look stupid, and that hurt our pride. So we try our best to shrug them off. However, have we ever consider that we hurt their feelings when we shrug them off? I remember one of the Carpenter's song,
"We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why"
Even though it's sung with a romantic connotation, it's applicable to human to human communication.
I shed tears when George's dad shared that.
Then, a patient who regain consciousness after years of sleep, woke up, only to find out that his wife has remarried, taking their boy with them. He chose to be operated after he resigned to the fact that they will never return to his side. The survival rate is 50/50 and he died at the op.
I cried cos the man woke up, and in an ideal situation, he should hv a happy ever after. But he woke up alone, and brought the hopelessness into his grave. Life shouldn't be like that. But things like that do happen.
At the end of it, I think I do agree with Meredith/Izzie. There are gifts we have in our lives that we ought to treasure. They may be insignificant gifts, but, they are blessings. And we should treasure what they are, and enjoy them as they are presented to us.
I am just glad that Meredith pull the plug on the yo-yo relationship with Derek and decided to move on. Sandra Oh is impeccable as Cristina. She is so strait-laced and impersonal, she is becoming interesting to watch. I really like to watch Cristina being the power hungry woman who cracks jokes with a straight face.
:) And I thought I would end this blog with sadness.
