It is interesting you said that about the therapeutic relationship.

I thought the ending was cool too. I thought at first he was going to ask her into his house.You get so used to relationships in the movies turning sexual. I'm glad it didn't. However, I think if I were her, I would have wanted an on-going friendship. Being able to live in the moment and then repeating it again and again. That would be the ultimate life.

I thought the opening scene in the grocery store was so funny. I think what I liked most was that Morgan Freeman's character wasn't a hero. He was simply a person who was open and gave his undivided attention to people. Didn't rush in to protect her. Just gave her is full attention, support, and acceptance. He really didn't want anything in return.

Makes you wonder, if you were the checkout girl and he approached you. Would you have engaged him and went with it? Or would you have left him to find his own way home? Or called the police because you assumed he was a freak?

I wonder how many quality interactions I miss simply because of fear.

Did you ever read the book Tuesdays with Morrie. That's another guy I would have liked to meet. Unfortunately, I would have likely thought he was a freak too or wanted something from me. I'm polite to people but I certainly send clear messages that my personal space is off limits. Probably why I have so much stuff bottled up inside dying to get out.
