*Spoiler Alert* (You can get over it, if you haven't seen the movie now, do you really think you care that much NOT to know what happens) Near the end of movie, Reese Witherspoon's character is about to die and Mark Ruffalo jumps to save her and what he did next was a huge debate with my friends. Did he give her one last kiss or did he try to give her CPR? Whichever side we were on we didn't even think the other side existed until someone mentioned the last kiss and the debate began. First it was a small discussion after the movie and then it turned into heated debates during lunch at school. Both sides were presented with reasonable defenses but at the end of the day neither side won; we all kept to our side of the opinion and no one was swayed to the opposite side of their opinion. Eventually we called it what it was and the discussion died off.
Fast forward 9 years and we still have this debate on the "once-in-awhile" occasion; though it doesn't get as heated as it used to, it's more a funny memory that we enjoy reminiscing about. I love this memory; makes me think of these great girls who are a part of my life, who cared and who stuck to their guns and opinions BUT still love and care about each other at the end of the day. Looking back on this fun memory I almost look at each side being labeled as romantic or practical thinkers (not that I'm saying the romantic thinkers aren't practical people and vice versa). Of course a romantic thinker would see a last kiss as the perfect send off and a practical thinker would do the step-by-step procedure in an emergency situation. The funny thing is, it seems to be that the girls who had the "romantic view" are all married and those with the, "IT WAS CPR!" argument are still kickin' it in the single lane.
Well, I'm still single, not even just dating but not married, nope, 100% single. Can you guess where I fall? That's right, I'm on the CPR side of the debate. It only makes sense to me that if someone, who I loved, was dying I would probably do all that I could to save them.
Where do you fall? CPR or Last Kiss? Practical or Romantic?
