The Answer Man

I've been watching a quirky little movie called The Answer Man. Had interesting quotes in it. Not sure if the Jeff Daniels character is a narc or not, but there were times she sure seemed pretty self-absorbed. Here's a couple I thoguth were particularly fascinating.

Kris Lucas: If God made everything, then why are some things bad? Like the whole pain and suffering thing...
Arlen Faber: Opposites. Without things that suck, you would have no idea what good was, and therefore be directionless. You smell shit, you walk the other way.

Kris Lucas: Why can't I do the things I want to do? There's so much I know I'm capable of that I never actually do. Why is that?
Arlen Faber: The trick is to realize that you're always doing what you want to do... always. Nobody's making you do anything. Once you get that, you see that you're free and that life is really just a series of choices. Nothing happens to you. You choose.
