We bought Green Hornet on PPV the other night (I ♥ PPV cause I have a DVD recorder ;) I buy new movies for $4.99 instead of $20!) Anyhoo- in that movie Britt plays a record (yeah, an actual record HAHA) of "Gangsta's Paradise". (My God, how old is that song? LOL)
I only ever heard that song because a friend of mine was into rap when we were younger. But I was really surprised they focused part of the song in the movie where it goes-
"Tell me why are we so blind to see that the ones we hurt are you and me?"
As much as I'm not a fan of rap in general, but there are a few songs with good messages that I do enjoy. (And YAY for lack of foul language to boot! Good for you, Coolio!)
Anyway, that part of the song is just so huge. So powerful. And it can be taken out of the gangsta's paradise and put into any community for various reasons.
Whether it be with our marriage, our children, our family, or friends. Many times we forget that our actions don't just affect US as a single unit. The way I treat my child doesn't just affect my child- it affects me, the way people see me, the way people treat me. It affects the way my child treats other children and people, how my child responds to me in the future, and eventually the way they will treat their own children.
Everything affects everything. It's the circle of life. And sometimes we forget that.
