The more information you know, the harder it is to piece together a complete picture

This Man From Earth, Part 1, gave us a thought?
Did you choose to believe him? Or choose not to believe it?
But whether you choose to believe it or not. There are doubts inside.
If you happen to be a Christian.
Then there is the second problem?
What if Christ stood before Himself and said He was Christ?
How should you be?

This is basically a matter of debate.
When people quarrel, the most typical kind of deadlock is that both sides are caught in a situation where each side wants to prove the other side. For example, if one person decides that there are no white crows in the world, another object that the world is full of wonders. There must be a white crow somewhere in the world. At this point, who should provide the proof?
Is it the former? Or the latter?
See, this man from Earth gave the same question? Prove that he did live so many years, was it Christ or something else?

The four children, through a series of verifications, found that they could not really prove that the other party was right, nor could they prove that the other party was wrong.
Even if they find more evidence that he really is what he said? There is no real proof that he is the Christ.

It's as absurd as, even if you catch 1000 black crows and claim that there are no white crows.

He said everything he knew. Then everyone followed what he said and searched for evidence. In fact, in the end, he can only go further and prove what he said.
But we are naturally skeptical? really?

It has to be said that we have reached a magical age, with more and more information and more and more evidence?
And the truth has disappeared.

The so-called truth is hidden in the past, but when we look for more clues, it will be even more difficult for us to piece together the truth.

But this man from Planet 2 also gave a new setting?
John, it's starting to change too. As they said at the end, human activities are changing the shape of the earth more and more. Now we are in a new era.
And he will end. Of course, it can also be said that new students.

The world itself is positive and negative.
Everyone promotes "truth, goodness and beauty",
but for some people, this is true, and for others, this is false.
Good and beautiful.

Because there are people involved, individuals feel different and face the same thing. There will be different thinking and reactions.

There is no one completely correct path leading to the right path.

Only personal transformation.

As John said in class, "greed, hatred, ignorance" can also be transformed into "generous, compassionate, intelligent"
I guess that means no matter how complicated and ugly you think you are right now. Panic, pain, loneliness inside,
you can choose to start over.

It will be different from now on. Be what you want you to be.

If there is a God, what He gives us is that you always have a choice.
Whether it was whether Adam and Eve wanted to eat apples or not, and whether or not Pandora's Box should be opened later. And Noah's Ark, do you want to go up?

John, also gave Philip the choice, stab him or let him go?

Please remember, choose well, take responsibility for yourself

The Man from Earth: Holocene quotes

  • Tara: My point is: he's a very brilliant man... with a great ass.

  • John: We're all burning. Every one of us. Burning with desire. We're burning with a fire caused by what the Buddha called the three poisons: greed, anger, ignorance. He taught us that we can fix this, we can turn them around. And greed becomes generosity, anger becomes compassion, and ignorance becomes wisdom. There are miracles around us all the time, he said.
