THE DAILIES OF A FILMMAKER

Lately, I have been quietly disappointed about how there seems to be an increasing lack of common decency in the world today. Somehow, now more than before, it seems that dishonesty and one-upmanship is becoming the name of the game…a game i’ve never been good at. It seems that there is no longer value put on truth, integrity and fairness especially in business matters.

I awoke early this morning thinking about this reality. So i sought comfort from my silence and in this silence i was led to reading these verses… .

“Neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything but only God who makes things grow…
and when the plowman plows and the thresher threshes, they ought to do so in the hope of sharing the harvest.”

Now, at first this didn’t seem to be related to my pain but for some deep reason it was comforting so I meditated on it. I tried to translate it as - We are blessed with work to do and that work provides us with good things. This continues as long as we use it to live properly and share generously…Now as for how things turn out? Only God can determine our destiny…not us…not others. Only God.

Somehow that reassures me that goodness will still reign supreme and that everything will be alright. There is lots of hope
