just finished watching Serendipity...for those who remember the movie: John Cusack played Jonathan Trager. His best friend wrote him an obituary which he read at those final minutes of the film...
"The greeks never wrote obituaries. They only asked one question after a man died: did he have passion."
"Jonathan Trager, prominent television producer for ESPN, died last night from complications of losing his soulmate and his fiancé. He was 35 years old. Softspoken and obsessive, Trager never looked the part of a hopeless romantic. But in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown side to his psyche. This hidden, quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit for his long reputed soulmate. A woman whom he only spent a few precious hours with. Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday night in complete and utter failure. Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Trager secretly clung to the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather it’s a tapestry of events that culminate into an exquisite and sublime plan. Ask about the loss of his dear friend, Dean Kansky the Pulitzer prize winner and executive editor for the New York Times described Jonathan as a changed man in the last days of his life. Things were clearer for him, Kansky noted. Ultimately Jonathan concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call Fathom. What we currently refer to as Destiny."
