Sometimes over sheltering our perspective in life by avoiding the Arts that display the grim realities on Earth can lead to a very shallow understanding about our Planet by not uncoverving the darkness of Religion, Government, and past Rulers of evil.

One excellent movie my wife and I watched recently was "Bordertown". This was not only an eye opener of what takes place in Mexico, I realized Americans are very naive when shopping for those good prices. Rape, murder, and deep corruption are what bring many things into our homes, via the great deal.

Another movie we saw that is a heart breaker is, Tears of the Sun. This film takes you right into the heart of Africa where guerilla warfare has cancered the jungle where innocent people are slaughtered. I never knew that these men with a "Cause" would go into a village and kill everyone, cutting the breasts off of women with child, which makes the statement of stopping the future generation from surviving.

Our "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" numbness in this Culture is more damaging than trying to abstain from Truth's we can't stomach. We think we do ourselves a favor by closing our eyes to things that may be hard to bear, but knowing what really goes on can change our hearts for the better.

On the other hand, just like anything, the tool of a good program or movie can become nothing but an escape. IMO, Video Games and Internet Pornography are far worse than TV.

I so agree with this post. My son urged me the other night to watch the movie "Precious". He said he normally would of never watched this movie, but a good christian friend of his told him it was really touching. It was full of cussing, drugs, sex and physical abuse (all that this precious young girl named Precious had to face day in and day out). It broke my heart, I told my son that some of us church people are so isolated in our wonderful church services and perfect, blessed lives that we can easily forget about what so many face everyday. Maybe it wouldn't hurt any of us to make ourselves watch some of the realities other have to endure all the time. Maybe then we could get our priority right and stop worrying about meaningless things and start reaching a lost world. I want to do better.
