So movies confuse me...

So I was recently watching the movie P.S. I Love You. And its a touching movie (if you don't wanna cry, steer clear cause yeah...tear-jerker). I love it primarily because I am a girl and Gerard Butler is in it. In the movie, Holly loses her husband of 10 years, Gerry. (Gerard Butler...*sigh*). It devastates her. She is a mess. Then letters begin to come in the mail from Gerry. He tells her various things to do to move on. One of those things is to go to Ireland! Exciting I know! She gets there, its beauitful and she goes out for a night on the town. She meets a somewhat sutdly Irishman named Billy and they hit it off. And when I say hit it off, I mean they sleep together. I hated it. It flew in the face of the point of the movie. She is trying to heal after her husband's death and she complicates it with a sexual relationship. Personally I was rooting for Daniel, the other male love interest in the movie. Daniel works as a bartender for Holly's Mom. He is a bit blunt and crude but he cares for Holly. He asks her to go out for food and something (and yes it might have been soon. ) But She says that a date is too soon then ends up in bed with a man she just met. It is a contradiction. And so it got me thinking. We view emotional and physical as two seperate things. But they are rather connected. These days we validate what is right on our emotions. Society has taught us this. "Do what you feel! It will all work out!" The contrary is true. If we are to survive life, we need to guide our emotions not let them guide us. And the only person who can do that is God, Its Jesus. He made us! I hate to be cheesy but he did! He knows us more than anyone even ourselves. His wisdom will help us make decisions based on solid foundations not on flimsy emotions.
