The Passion of Chirst
I am a Canadian with the unique perspective of being 'sheltered' from the mass media hype that has swept North America in regards to this movie.
My first introduction to this film was via a Diana Sawyer interview/portrayal of Mel Gibson, his film, and the controversy it has stirred up.
It is very interesting to see all of this from the outside. Okay, this movie will be controversial because it deals with a religious belief (always controversial) but on top of it the media has had fun creating further controversy.
Jesus is believed by many to be the messiah: the saviour of the people. And because of the way this man 'Jesus' acted he ticked off a lot of people with power and that is never a good thing. Now a day if you do that you just get beaten down. Back then you were killed.
Jesus was one of many who were killed.
Jesus was born and raised in a Jewish family so most likely he was Jewish.
Now the people who may get riled up about the death of Jesus is...?
Christians: as the media is quick to insight. Jak is correct. The whole philosophy of Christianity rests on the foundation that Jesus died and was raised. He was crucified for 'our sins', as the Catholics would say.
Anyone who watches violence for an extended amount of time will be 'riled up'. It is like the matador taunting the bull. It appears the populous is being bated to have greater religious conflict.
As a peaceful Canadian I ask my fellow American neighbours to try and take a step back and look at the larger picture.

It is amazing.
People try and hold feelings and thoughts back becasue....
who is to say why everyone has their own rasionalizationas to why they hold things back.
Is it truely possible to hold things back.
According to the one mind theory if you don't express your thought someone ealse will express it for you. I see this time and again here down on the island.
This is what must make it so frustrationg for those who wish to have a unique or individual thought. This is what sends some people around the bend thinking that their thoughts are being monitored by an external sorce. (drawn from the research done on schizophernia for physcology)
Like many things in life if something is not valibated by others people dismiss it as not 'real' or it is in/and how the experience is confirmed that ones reactions are based on.
Eg. a child falles and bumps their head. After such an event they take the time to look at those around them and how they react to their actions and react that way.
Is this a way of seeking attention? Pavloves dog? Do some children assosate falles and spills with ways of obtaining others attention? Adults seem to do so as well. Someone preceves things going badly for them an then 'out of the blue' they become accident prone. Is this linked to some subconscious memory of the baby being picked up and comforted as a child?
Case in point. lol
Like I said I don't believe in coincidences. Things do seem to follow a script. One can allways preceve what they wish to out of any sittuation. so if someone wishes to see a corolation of events they shall. if they wish to see chaos they shall.
Trueth search for truth.
How does one develop ones talents???
learning teaching sharing
People are in our live as an oportunity to ask questions and receive answers. does that have to be sommunicated in speach or can that happen with proximity.
