January through February was one of the greatest time for movie-lovers since awards show are everywhere. Of course I’m one of the foolish that keeping up with the update. I love watching and predicting the winner, or see the celebrities that went and won the awards..but wait.

Joaquin Phoenix recently won for his Joker role in BAFTA, and he was saying something about self-righteous condemnation. And I was thinking, it was true. The whole game was just a praised for others to others, and that was contrary to belief of mindfulness, which is not accepting praise for others to make our own happiness. The more we crave for recognition, the more we forgot how true meaning of happiness are. And it drives us crazy, to earn people’s recognition. Sometimes we were overlooked.

I used to love awards show. But now that I understand, it is just a shallow thing. It was just a pat of shallow worldly ambition. The reason why I opposed with this because 1) I might not get any award since I am not in the scope anyway and 2) we are living for something bigger.. and that is not a stupid award that recognizes you by handful of people.
