Personal Parables #4. This is the room I could die in, and #5. No one wants to party with a loser

Brewsters MillionsWhen Brewster’s ex-wife designs the perfect interior, that he says is the room he could die in. Then, they take it all away. 

This one is about working hard toward things you care about – toward perfection – with acceptance that nothing lasting forever. A bit of an entropy parable, but more about working against it, regardless, for the love of it.

Also (an effective Personal Parable #4.1, because I can’t find the clip of this one)…

When Brewster holds one big last party, but because everyone thinks that he’s broke, no one bothers coming and it’s all rather sobering. 

Clever old great-uncle Rupert. 

This one punctuates the first in a sense, because it’s about Brewster doing what he want’s to. Living his best life, irrespective of what others think or what they think might happens next. It’s about you doing you, knowing what you know and believe, and not performing for other people.
