Life's Realisation

Collateral Beauty  is an awesome movie that touches your very soul. It is centered on how to find yourself all over again after a terrible tragedy. However, most importantly it reveals the Love-Death-Time existential triangle that connects every human being. Love - We long for love Time - We wish we had more time. Death - We fear death. Collateral Beauty also draws examples to various peoples lives to make us question whether we are living right, using our time wisely,  and even dying right.
