This past weekend I saw “The Road” with my parents. It’s a well directed post-apocalyptic movie with memorable performances that doesn’t rely on its setting or action sequences to drive it. I’d recommend it for all LOTR, Fallout and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fans out there.
At one point in the movie, the father tells his son that they were the good guys because they had “the fire burning” in their hearts. They would not do the bad stuff everyone else seemed to be doing. And they were definitely not going to eat other people to survive.
To me this question asks, “Do you believe in objective morality?“, that is, morality that doesn’t depend on your society or culture? A morality that says it’s wrong to steal, wrong to murder, no matter what? And the second question that tests if the fire will burn in your heart is “Are you going to follow these morals come the end of the world or something close?”
So where do you stand? If the time comes, what will keep you from putting your comfort above my survival?
The only thing that would keep the fire burning in my heart is Jesus.
