There has been quite a few inspirational speeches in television and big screen through the ages, and I’m one of those folks who happen to enjoy those sentimental talks. The latest, and perhaps one of my personal all-time favorites is this speech from the series Babylon 5. The setting is a scifi-series, with all the different races, star systems and the universe-talk, but the stuff in the speech is actually applicable to us aswell as human beings. It is not only good in rhetoric, but also full of good meaning. Perhaps it will inspire you like it inspired me. (The speech itself last only the first half of the clip)
This time I’m not going to talk my thoughts open about the speech here, but instead I just quote a few lines for us all to ponder about.
Always it is the same voice.
It is the small still voice that says:
We are one.
No matter the pain, no matter the darkness, no matter the loss, no matter the fear.
We are one.
Here, gathered together in common cause we agree to recognize this singular truth and this singular rule:
That we must be kind to one another.
What a beautiful, yet simple maxim.
Kaunis ajatus. Ehkä se voisikin olla totta, jos ihmiset todella pysähtyisivät kuulemaan sielunsa ääntä, ja Jumalan ääntä. Minulla on usein asiaa Jumalalle, mutta harvoin pysähdyn kuuntelemaan mitä Hän haluaisi sanoa minulle. Ihmiset ovat pohjimmiltaan hyviä, elämä on vain tehnyt meistä sen mitä nyt olemme. Kuitenkin meistä jokainen on Jumalan kuva, toivo Kristuksen silmissä. Sitä on vaan välillä vaikea muistaa.
