Lost and Found

You know why a show like Lost is so amazing? It's not because J.J. Abrams has some epic shots of an island around Hawaii; Nor is it a cast of hot chicks or even a great story line. It is so acclaimed because the people on the island, each and every one of them are so lost...and as the show progresses they gradually find themselves.

The process intrigues us as we're revealed how the hero and anti-hero are all human. I mean, even the most righteous will be selfish and make stupid decisions that disregards everyone else's well being. Even the anti hero will sacrifice himself for one he loves. You see, on the lost island, everyone puts down their front eventually and reveals who they really are.

This is a chilling revelation. The only time any human will show their true color is when they just don't care anymore. True color comes out when we have no hope or care for consequences. What's that say for our society? NONE of us truly know each other. So a lot of people wonder why their bf/gf changes after a relationship goes long term. Well, they didn't change. You just didn't know them. I guess you should feel good that they chose to reveal themselves to you because they don't care anymore about you judging them. At the same time, you should probably feel terrible because we only complain when change is in the direction we don't like =).

While that may hold true for a general population, we as Christians should really try to be real. But really, what do we do? Should we show our ugliness and let other people judge Christians by our ugly true selves? Maybe we should. The last thing I want to be is an oasis mirage to someone dying of thirst.
