from the movies to our minds

Isn’t it interesting when you watch a movie and the climate for characters start to become perfect to the point of utopia, the audience can predict something very bad is about to happen. I wonder if that kind of thought process goes beyond just watching movies and rubs off on our own lives. At a moment when things seem surreal, we expect catastrophy. And because our focus is placed on the worst, those events actually do come true.

Then I wonder if perhaps God saves us in a manner from critical thoughts creeping into our lives just before death. He doesn’t manipulate minds because the bible says He gives us free will, but perhaps his human creation is made in such a way that whatever, just before we die, makes us so undeniably happy happens to a point that the mind can’t even comprehend that a negative is imminent.

It’s just a thought.
