Do you love Sci-Fi films and sometimes walk through the city imaging spaceships flying over your head in lightspeed? As do I, and I have a secret list of places for potential Sci-Fi movies in my head.
These are places full of colourful lights, shiny surfaces and long corridors. I dress up like I’m making my own version of the Fifth element with Jean Paul Gaultier’s fantastic costumes while I cross those places. In my head, I dream of adventures through the galaxy and remember that there is one thing that convinced the Fifth Element to save earth: Love!
While I hear my shoes clicking on the floor of the deserted station, the blue light fills my eyes, and I imagine there would be a flying taxi picking me up. Do I have my multipass ready to go on a journey to Fhloston Paradise?
Where is the one that makes me believe in love when I come falling right through the roof of his car? Maybe I’m still alone in my cool Sci-Fi world because I’m not falling but standing, sometimes flying.
According to Aristoteles, next to the known four elements of the world and nature (fire, water, air and earth), the fifth element is the aether, the unknown. He said that the stars couldn’t have been made of any known element, so there must be a fifth. I say if the fifth element is capable of saving the world with the belief in love, doesn’t that kind of turn love into the fifth element if we stick to our Sci-Fi dream?
Just a thought to encourage you to stay open-minded and never stop to imagine strange scenarios…
