Hail,
i saw a really good movie this weekend called Dogville it stars nicole kidman. The story itself isnt an uplifitng one by any means the story is mostly spiraling dispair. But, it is a great commentary on human morality and how your charactor is determined by not who you are when you around people but who you are when know one is around. I think the director Lars Von Trier was ultimaly trying to say in the film is that humainity is a prideful race and that accepting that we are not the most admirable person we know would be like self betrayl, that we would skew are morals to accept the terms that would alow us to act unencumbered by a contrary moral. I agree with this theory,because i dont know anyone who hasnt done this in a small fashion. I think, because i have done this myself, that we think of ourselves as glorified beings. Why dont we just accept that if we were without laws moral constranits and status quo we would all be vile creatures. Were not wired to care. Thats why i believe in a God because for one, our lives whould be so arbitrary or useless if our soul perpose was to get the best job or best love or have as much enjoyment as possible. Another is if this is true that our lives should be lived like that then why have moral diliemma be free and destroy yourself in a righteous blaze of glory. Life is epic, i hate to think that my life is only as grand as the rung i achieve on the corporate ladder. I find it so difficult to believe that we have this immortal soul with a shell that will wither, a pairing that would seem to be so improperly matched be mere coincidence. I choose to journey to find what matters. I know there is a yearning inside and that when i feel closer to God i realize that this shell is merely a cage holding my soul and when i die im released and the ironic pairing ends im finally connected. My purpose is to help set others free i cant risk those i love to fall in love with the this fading life.
