Life in 3D

Tonight I saw Life of Pi. It was a beautiful visual movie, and the 3D effects put the reality of survival that Pi faced right in your face.

Pi was a boy who loved adventure and learning about different religions. He was afraid of nothing. He had no reason to be until what became his greatest fear was the only thing that kept him alive.

This isn't terribly different from the lives some single people face - especially soon after a breakup when being single is fresh. Waking up every day struggling with basic survival. It's like being on that lifeboat for endless days and weeks, stuck with just you and the thing you fear most. Being alone.

The 3D glasses made the movie even more real. I felt Pi's vast loneliness in the water surrounded only by horizons, jumped when the tiger lunged and rocked with the boat in the stormy waves. I almost felt the water close in when Pi was thrown into it.

I wish there was a special kind of glasses single people could wear to make every day more clear. More real, similar to what 3D glasses do for a movie. I would love to wear those glasses to peer into a guy's soul so any dishonesty would jump right in my face. They could show if new friends have true friendship in their hearts. What are they really like. Would glasses really show me?

Could special glasses be a way to have the courage and hope it takes to do more than just survive this new life?

Love to the single girls,
