My heart will go on...

Titanic, when I hear it I think of the film not the tragedy behind it. Though the story of Jack and Rose is a work of fiction, it is a story that has touch my heart and taught me a lesson; the ambiguity of life.
Some would say their story or their feelings was pure infatuation due to the fact they met one night and basically became in love the next day; a part of me agrees they are infatuated because they both found someone whom posses the same liking (of art) and I guess just to live life. On another note I believe that as an audience I cannot say they are infatuated or in love or just label them; I just think I cannot ever judge unless I am in that situation, though it is just merely a film about sinking of a ship that is thought unsinkable and was thrown a love story around it, it still could happen its plausible that you meet the love of your life and then he/she could be gone in a heart beat.
           The lesson I have learned, only oneself can tell what she/he can do whether its love or choices. Choices, I have choices but it is up to me whether to let life choose for me or myself (in the film Rose thought she does not have a choice due to their financial situation and being she is a woman but when she met Jack he was a wake up call to her that even she can do what she wishes.) As for life, Jack & Rose met one night, talked and fell the next day, and Rose lost Jack the next night; in a matter of 3 days or so, they found love and hope amongst each other. This showed how one could have the best day of his/her life and the worst the next day; but it is your choice what to do while you are living the best and how you will cope in the worst. In the film, Rose lived her best day well the moment she realized it will be the best day of her life and after she lost Jack she cope with it by listening to his wishes and remembering the joy he helped her recognize, she can have if she desires to. To conclude, their story let helped me understand that life is a gift and not to waste or take advantage of it while I still have it. (-jack)
