A Euphemism For God
*Note – There is one choice word in this video clip near the beginning, but I feel like it illustrates the message of goodness so well that it can be overlooked.
The above video, in case you can’t see it or somehow missed the pop culture phenomenon of 2008, is the ending to “The Dark Knight”. Throughout the film, Batman and Harvey Dent (A.K.A. Two-Face) represent the war that lies inside each and every one of us between the nature of good and the nature of evil. The Joker plays the role of tempter, trying desperately to pull both men towards the dark side. Harvey Dent chooses to embrace evil, while Batman chooses to embrace good.
Both choices have consequences. Harvey Dent’s choice leads to his untimely death. Batman’s choice, as seen at the end of this clip, leads him to sacrifice himself and any chance for a normal life for the sake of the good fight.
Each and every one of us faces the same choice in our own lives. Will you embrace good or embrace evil? Before you make that decision, take a closer look at what goodness is all about. (more…)
