Reflection: Forrest’s way of living
A lot of people see Forrest as “simple,” but in truth, he’s very wise in his own way. And maybe in the end, simplicity is the end goal, rather than complication.
He doesn’t overcomplicate life — he sees things clearly and acts directly.
He knows what matters: love (His Mom, Jenny), loyalty (Bubba, Lieutenant Dan), honesty, and doing his best.
His ability to live in the present, free from fear or ego, is a kind of intelligence many people struggle to achieve.
Forrest shows a deeper emotional and life intelligence: he loves fully, forgives easily, and keeps moving forward. That’s rare.
