Misfits and Misfortunes

What would you like to be? The wheel or the road. Whichever you choose, there is always a point wherein you’ll get beaten by with no mercy.

"The wheel of a man's life. No mercy. No pity." - Robert Jordan

We can compare the rich as the wheel and the poor as the dirt on the road. But, whatever status you have in society, both are relatively the same when life takes its course. We all feel the pain, we all get hurt, but unfortunately for the misfits there is no mercy and pity.

Misfits are outcast in society, they are poorly judged because of their social status, and it annoys me that some people would literally create misfortunes for them to make them more miserable. Life is indeed unfair for some.

This afternoon I started watching this Korean Drama Series “The Penthouse” and it’s just irritating to see how misfortunes get amplified in the life of the misfits. The story revolves around the rich and the poor, ambitious and incongruent life, trusts and betrayal, and the likes. I just started watching and currently the series is already in season three (must be the final season) so don’t take this as a review for the show. However, the first three episodes were rather compelling and inspiring to write about.

The characters of the misfits in this story were just heartbreaking. How can a mother and daughter experience the same injustices? A mother who lived a painful past should deserve a break from all the misfortunes later in life. I think anyone deserves to enjoy a beautiful life at least with their son or daughter, right? I can’t actually imagine how injustice could be inherited as well? Just crazy!

Nevertheless, there is an orphan girl in the story that I love because of her driven character. Though, another misfit, but she's a fighter and strong willed, indeed worth rooting for in the show. I don’t know how the turn of events will be like because her situation early in the story is a sheer misfortune. I hope her character endures with all the physical and emotional torture after the horrendous bullying incident that almost got her killed, brought about by the filthy rich Hera Palace Children and Elites.

So, I got annoyed and briefly stopped watching, I mean it’s just annoying how the writer of this film can be so one-sided in adding more misery to the helpless. While making the filthy rich people utterly bad and obnoxious. However, my colleagues have been pushing me to keep watching, so I think I have to give it a go after a write up. The next episodes might inspire me and save me from writer’s block.

Anyway, whether you're a wheel or a dirt on the road, and whatever life situation you are in, think about these things...

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." -Philippians 4:8
