Last week I saw my friend Becca’s film Four Months & Ten Days: A Journey Through Palestine. It is the kind of film that hits you in the gut and shakes you out of your small world. It brings tears to your eyes as you are reminded once again the level of suffering that people can and do endure on a daily basis. It also reminds us of our complicity in the evil that others undertake with our tax dollars. There is no simple message, no easy way out. And while I understand that many would just as soon remain unchallenged by uncomfortable aspects of the world, I am grateful to her for reminding me that I am part of a larger whole and forcing me to pull my head out of my daily routine and contemplate what it means to part of humanity.
