Jesus (2020)

      📹 Behold, the Lamb of God. 

Reflections
I feel, if there is something common that exists among different religious scriptures and teachings, it is love. The core principles of spirituality, perceived and experienced in  different ways or forms on Earth, revolve around love and forgiveness. Though some of the scriptures hang on to a past and a future and some hang on to living in the present, by making the most of your time (every second, every minute) on Earth.

The life of Jesus, stories and parables shared by Him, also revolves around love and forgiveness. His words, deeds, compassion and selfless love point to a way of living that is built on nothing but true love. I feel God created Love and Man created Religion. And I believe nothing will stand the test of time but Love, because, God is Love (though we see Him/Her in different forms or call Him/Her by different names).

The Da Vinci Code (2006)

 📹 What do you believe in ? 

Reflection
Over the years, I have begun to question everything I see, hear or read.
Memories fade away, a lot gets lost in translation and what we see, perceive and infer defers from person to person.
God is true love and it's hard for me to believe or see God in any other form. God, rather true love, exists. It is that inevitable and invincible force that lights our way. And if we believe in this force (or see it in the form of a divine being or divine beings, whether as a man or as a woman or as a spirit with no form), we tend to see miracles all around us. It is what we believe in or how we see the world that makes all the difference.          
I invite you to watch 'The Da Vinci Code' with an open mind (not as the word of truth but as a thought provoking movie). Have we bound our divine beings based on our society's perception of what is right or wrong ? or based on our beliefs about how divine beings should be ?

"Meant to identify,

Series: 13 Reasons Why Season 01 (2017)

 🎥 Butterfly Effect. 

Reflection
I can never justify the act of taking one's own life ever. But, I feel it's important to understand or consider the reasons why someone slips into this unfortunate path. With social media taking over our lives, peer pressure and need for social acceptance have reached new heights. It is imperative for parents, teachers and students to understand how it is affecting our minds; understand how our words and actions may affect others, be considerate of each other's feelings and support them in due time.

Life is hard. It will try to pull you down in some way or the other and it is natural to feel broken or lost. We must not give up no matter how bad it seems. The challenge is to fight it and figure out a way back into life.

Series Details
'13 Reasons Why' is an American teen drama web television series developed for Netflix by Brian Yorkey, based on the 2007 novel 'Thirteen Reasons Why' by Jay Asher.
Genres: Teen Drama, Mystery and Thriller
Country: United States of America   
Language: English

Series Plot
The series revolves around a high school student (Clay Jensen) and the aftermath of her classmate Hannah Baker's suicide, who leaves behind a box of cassette tapes in which she details why she chose to end her life.

Soundtrack Lane
13 Reasons Why (A Netflix Original Series Soundtrack) is worth listening to.
