The show must go on!

The show must go on! This phrase is the second most frequent phrase in the movie Moulin Rouge. The most frequent on is of course, 'Diamonds are a girl's best friend'. Which we all know its very true. Anyway, the meaning to the phrase, the show must on, in the movie is that whatever happens, they must continue with the show as it is the most important thing in their life.

For us, it means that life must go on no matter what. You fail a subject, so what, the show must go on! You got rejected by your crush, so what, the show must go on! The examples are endless and will probably turn into 1 gigabyte of text if I carry on citing examples. Now that we all know the meaning of the phrase, how many of us are able to actually live by the phrase. Being an extremely modest fellow, I admit that I have loads of difficulty living by that phrase. I know that the show must go on no matter what happens, but sometimes its quite hard, you know. Be it a simple bump on the road or a meteor crater in the middle of the road, we know we have to get through it someway or another.

I used to think that I will have no difficulty getting by any obstacles, big and small. Then I progressed to the stage where I was slammed into the obstacle and felt that I can never ever get through the obstacle. Now I am at the stage whereby I'm in the middle of crossing the obstacle without really noticing how I'm doing it. Sounds kind of abstract, but I'm sure people who had face extreme obstacles and overcame it would know what the hell I am blabbering about. It's quite a strange, but exhilarating feeling to be able to overcome a problem that you previously thought you can never do it. But we will just manage to pull it off.

No significant meaning to this post, just remembered the film and this particular phrase. So to all who is reading, no matter what kind of gigantic obstacle you face in life, just tell youself,' The show must go on', and show the world that it went on.
