Heartfelt Moment in Unabomber
What is the secret?
First of all, when I saw that Kevin Spacey is an Executive Producer for this Netflix series, I smiled to myself and afterwards thought — well of course.
I really like and respect all the work that Kevin Spacey has done and been in. I understand that his personal life has been under scrutiny, however, I do separate two things as I don’t know how him as a person, but I have been learning more about him as a Creative Genius.
Unabomber — series based on True Events. A mathematics prodigy who chose a primitive lifestyle and later turned into an American domestic terrorist. Theodor Kaczynski is also an author of Industrial Society and It’s Future (1995).
The series does a beautiful job showcasing some incredible detective job and a very human side of Ted. In Episode 6, that’s where I really felt his pain:
It’s an episode dedicated to understanding the character behind the planner bombing attacks.
- What anger behind a rejection can do and provoke.
- If one doesn’t heal deeply seeded emotions, they will keep escalating and get out of control one day.
- Betrayal and betrayal after betrayal. Until you can’t trust anymore and the anger takes over.
I felt Ted’s pain because betrayal is something I felt very recently myself. Do I want them to pay for what they did for me? I would question myself. I would try to seek for answers in various forms until I realised that it’s not for me to do. To judge is not something that I have been given a writer to do. God will take care of it. Revenge is not something to act upon.
Here are the words from the series that trembled my heart:
Sometimes I feel like I want to punish those people because they have what I want. The home. The family. The ability to be normal
I’m 53 years old and I’m a virgin.
I always found it difficult to connect with people. And I realise only now that all this time I spent on distraction, I could have spent it on a family. Having a son. Someone who would look up to me. Who I can just… love
I gave up everything for respect. But what I really want is….
My past doesn’t have to dictate my future. I can still grow. I can still change. Can’t I? My life was not suppose to go like this.
Take out:
- Instead of focusing on what we don’t have — what is it that we do?
- What are we grateful for?
- What needs our attention?
