The Ending of 2001 Space Odyssey Explained

2001 Space Odyseey

Gelmis: Did you deliberately try for ambiguity as opposed to a specific meaning for any scene or image?

Kubrick: No, I didn’t have to try for ambiguity; it was inevitable. And I think in a film like 2001, where each viewer brings his own emotions and perceptions to bear on the subject matter, a certain degree of ambiguity is valuable, because it allows the audience to “fill in” the visual experience themselves. In any case, once you’re dealing on a nonverbal level, ambiguity is unavoidable. But it’s the ambiguity of all art, of a fine piece of music or a painting — you don’t need written instructions by the composer or painter accompanying such works to “explain” them. “Explaining” them contributes nothing but a superficial “cultural” value which has no value except for critics and teachers who have to earn a living. Reactions to art are always different because they are always deeply personal.

The Fundamentals of Touching, When it Comes To Dating

A few of you are new to dating. That can be tough to begin with, but when you haven’t had any guidance, it can be terrifying. Life isn’t the same now as it once was, anyone who denies that is just a liar… specifically in that there’s less personal reaction taking place in person than ever before. It makes it harder to navigate.

With that in mind, here are some tips, with examples, of how to initiate touching. I’m extremely traditional and old fashioned. Why? Because I have watched it work and helped tens of thousands of people use traditional methods to make their relationships work/ work again. If you don’t want traditional roles of male versus female, I welcome your back button into the conversation at this time. 😉

9 Rules I Learned About Life From Getting Old

(photo: @brunus)

1) People matter the most

I cannot emphasize this enough. Life is short. Relationships are valuable, especially those healthy ones that make you a better person. The older I get the more I prioritize my time to spend it with the people who I love. This means trips back home to my parent’s house, doing activities my friends want to do even if I am not super excited about it (an example would be shopping. I am a girl who hates to shop but loves my friends so I end up at malls a bit.), or even just staying in and having people over. I rarely say no when someone wants to hang out. Their happiness is my own, and I want to encourage them in their happiness.
