I have not written in a while. My mind is full of things I want to write and say but somehow they do not get put down on paper. I feel in love with this quote from the movie blood diamond which seems to sum up the truth of humanity, the conflict between the light and the dark and the fact that there are no rules that can define our actions only our own hearts and our own awareness of those actions. Here is the quote that I find so beautiful and so simple that speak of us all in the language of myths and dreams.
My heart always told me that people are inherently good.
My experience suggests otherwise.
But what about you, Mr. Archer?
ln your long career as a journalist......would you say that people are mostly good?
No.l'd say they're just people.
Exactly.
lt is what they do that makes them good or bad.
A moment of love, even in a bad man......can give meaning to a life.
I have always been surprised by the fact that good and evil are still spoken off in the way that they are, often simply to use as a marketing, political speak to prove a point of the "evil doers" and how good and self righteous a person is as they declare war to destroy life for profit, but has no basis in reality.
Like the quote say we are all light and dark, good and bad, it is what we do that shapes our experience, and nothing is set in stone, "a moment of love, even in a bad man... can give meaning to a life". It is our own awareness of our actions that makes us true to ourselves and to life itself.
