Funny how art imitates life

Watched a Harry Potter movie last night.

Harry: I've been thinking about something Dumbledore said to me.

Hermione: What's that?

Harry: That even though we got a fight ahead of us, we've got one thing that Voldemort doesn't have.

Ron: Yeah?

Harry: Something worth fighting for.

Life imitates art because art fulfills the three conditionals of manifestation: the concept, the emotion, and the action/the creation, the appreciation, the performance. If you reverse it, it doesn't fit quite as well in my opinion. You only get the appreciation personally, and that isn't enough to fuel the manifestation itself.

These are the thoughts that kept me out of the really good schools.*
