The Movie " unthinkable"

It is a film about a terrorit attack on US and how the hero , Samuel Jackson try to extract out the location of the nuclear bombs which the terrorist have planted in the different sites in three US cities. THe film showed the cruelty and inhuman nature to the different characters in the flim.

This show pitch the basic human goodness against the bad until extreme circumstances whereby the good turns to evil and use evil to fight evil to win the battle in the name of saving the mankind.  I have read an article which illustrate the limit of fear. When we do not fear death, what is there to be fearful. The article illustrate an example of two person challenging each other and to test who is more brave by each character driving a car each and driving against each other. Who turns the car away first will be the loser and if both of them do not fear death, then their car will clash and both will die.

This is exactly the theme of the story to preserve the live of the innocent and in the name of goodness, we will use evil to fight eveil  and do death, shall we know who is the winner.  It is very subjective to decide who is right or who is wrong because different person have different standards, perceptions and belief. To a muslim, there have different cultures , different life style and upbrings and influences and for a christian and buddhist, their views , background and upbring is also vastly different.

Hence, to change the world is impossible due to the billion of years of history and it also need different religion and cultures to provide for the vastly different people on earh. What all of us need to manage ourself , have peaceful thoughts and pray for peace on earth. It is unthinkable that there will be a universal religion or culture , language ,etc.

:Like what your holiness, The Dalai Lama have said : Which is the better relgion:? The answer is the religion that makes you a better man.  We are not to judge others , not let others judge us. We are accountable to ourself and to those that we are responsible.

There was an song " Oh shella, shella " Whatever will be , will be. The future is not ours to see , oh, shella, shella. You may say that Buddhism is very passive but is an art and way of living bu managing oneself. If we cannot manage ourself , how can we manage the country or the world.

Namaste.
