How Do You Go About Your Life? What Kind of Path Do You See Yourself Taking?
The story revolves around The Dude—someone considered to be the laziest and most aimless person in Los Angeles County.
And if he’s the laziest one there, everyone pretty much thinks he’s right up there with all the laziest people in the world. He loses track of his days, dresses every day like it’s Casual Friday, and loses himself in the drinks and bowling.
However, his simple lines actually make a lot of sense. That’s why over the years, The Big Lebowski became more than just a film to a lot of people—it became a way of life and a philosophy.
It teaches us that living a simple life means having only simple problems and simple solutions. It teaches us to live our lives our own way. Others’ opinions are not important. It’s what we truly feel about ourselves and our lives that will drive us forward and bring us to the path we want to take in life.
