So I love this image, even though it is from a movie, because it shows a simple man with a dark side. I can liken myself to this because it reminds me of what I can be. I know that I have a dark side, and I do my best to hide it. This image has called to me since I first found it. How simple it would be to let go of my humanity and turn into a beast. It would feel great to lose control and not have any fears. I have known this feeling once and it has been hard to forget about it.
How easy it would be to stop fighting for control and simply to surrender and not live in fear of what my mind holds.
I like your post because I agree that there's a second nature to people which our culture deems unfit. You mentioned losing control and turning into this beast but isn't a human already an animal society masks in hair extentions and buisness suits?
ReplyDeleteJoshua and Ashley,
ReplyDeleteTrue, we live in a fallen world, and there is an element of to us that would like to do what ever we wanted, however, there is always something or someone that each one of us beleives, whether you beleive in our Lord and Savior to save us, protect us, and grow us in His likeness, or whether you beleive the opposite, your choosing, He will not stop you. He gives us a free will, that's where we come in, what are we going to choose? Beast or Beauty? Pat Kaehler.
Yes live free! Let it all hang out! For sure we all have a dark side that we desperately try to hide. Thank you for bringing up a valid point to how we all feel. This reminds me of fight club. Good movie
ReplyDeleteGreat post! everyone has a dark side, some that we hide better than others. I think its healthy to let this dark side come out sometimes..
