Who says Eat, Pray, Love is a boring movie? Yes, it is a slow movie, but one filled with a meaningful mesage of the importance of praying. That's the beauty of the movie. It stressed out on the emptiness one is filled with when you don't take the time to address yourself and God. In this movie, praying means meditating, where Liz had to go to 3 countries and 2 break-ups to find herself. She seemed lost and going through life aimlessly before she started to meditate.
I can say meditation is another word for perseverance. Why does being a muslim require us to pray 5 times a day. It is because it is our basic need, of which if we don't comply, we could, not will (because only if God wills), we could end up like Liz, filled with emptiness and sorrow.
5 times a day to cleanse the our face, arms, forehead, and feet as well as our soul and to persevere, to communicate with God, despite our hectic schedule. Why? To express our gratitude for our lives, to express our worries and doubts, but most of all, to find a balance.
That's what I think. Eat, Pray, Love tells about the importance of praying. It may speak in a different language and form than Islam, but its concept is the same. Think about it.
