This is what I do know: A lie, however well-intended, can't prepare you for reality or change the world. . . To tell the truth is to provide armament against a world too full of cruelties to be defeated with simple falsehoods. . .

The truth may, given the opportunity, set us free.

The first law that ever God gave to man was a law of pure obedience; it was a commandment naked and simple, wherein man had nothing to inquire after, or to dispute, forasmuch as to obey is the proper office of a rational soul, acknowledging a heavenly superior and benefactor. From obedience and submission spring all other virtues, as all sin does from self-opinion.
Film is an oversimplification of things. That it really boils things down and makes them too simple.
The Witness is a huge step forward, and it is a necessary and important step in meditation, but it is not ultimate.
