RISE!

Today is Easter! For me, this is one of the most important celebrations, if not THE most important.  The resurrection of Jesus is the foundation for life: an eternal life.  In this episode I wanted to focus on one aspect of Easter, and that is on the circumstances that lead to Jesus's crucifixion: namely who, as well as what, was a part of what took place.  Particularly, I chose to look at an aspect of a mindset that can occur within any aspect of our humanity, with any individual; today as well as back then.  This aspect reveals the dichotomy of what it is to perceive ourselves as well intentioned - but to then engage in behaviors opposite of those perceptions we have of ourselves.  This episode is based on observations I found hard to wrap my head around.  At some point, I could only relay my observation in a discussion I never thought I would ever have.  Upon deep reflection, it was clear I had seen this dichotomy all throughout my life, though not as literal and jarring as in the actual crucifixion - and that based on this alone, realized I, too - along with the condition of humanity - needed a Savior.
