Good morning, “The only serious question in life is whether to kill yourself or not.” –Albert Camus MOVIES THAT CONTEMPLATE ENDING IT ALL AND THE FUTILITY OF IT ALL This week, Andrea and I watched the movie, A Man Called Otto, the Tom Hanks movie about an older man burdened by memories of loss, with nothing to live for. You know the plot, even if you haven’t seen the movie. Otto has lost everything—or so he believes. He goes through the motions of comical attempts to end his life. Yet each time, the desire to be with his departed wife takes the back seat to his engagement with the world around him. He comes to know his neighbors and care for them. And they, in turn, care for him.
