It is always interesting to me to see someone who isn’t in the churches view on problems in the world. Something that really resounded with me is when he talked about that all he needed to do to get people to really feel for other people who are less fortunate then them is to simply show them. It made me think. What if we all could really see into the lives of those people around us. We have so many people in our church that are going through something and it is just an amazing thought to think how much more we would care if really knew what they were going through.
The one thing that he said was the strongest thing in getting to empathize was longer shots that were more of a view into what was actually happening in the peoples lives. He didn’t want to shoot montages of emotional short shots. I feel like it is the same with us. The way that we will become sympathetic is if we truly know what is happening in the lives of the people around us. That’s one thing that I took away from what he said was that if we really have an eye for the pain of the world around us we would want nothing more than to help.
