i spent this morning watching and listening to clips of the movie. the mission. it left me with such an overwhelming feeling inside. the music just speaks to my heart. lots of emotions and thoughts. how is it possible that people can go through life without stopping every once in a while. to take a deep breath. to refelct. to see how things have changed around them. to appreciate the beauty. to see children grow up. to see their boy become a man. things we take for granted everyday. the freedom we live in. the right most of us have to practice our spiritual and religious views without persecution. most of us live in countries that are the result of colonialism. have we ever given thought to the impact it has had. it displays the arrogance and greed of humanity. its lust for power. and wealth. closets full of hidden agendas. but what about the opposite argument. is the world not a better place because of it. it has given meaning to many people. many lives. yes you can argue that the way it was done perhaps was wrong. but none the less. that was the mission given to us. to go into all the world. to tell them what we know. the truth that has been given to us. what truth you might ask. the truth of life. i will answer. but first you take some time out. take a journey back in time. look back and appreciate your experiences. they make you who you are. whether good or bad. you deteremine that. i urge you. if you seek for it. you will find it. i have.
