cup half empty
Posted : 22 Apr, 2010 10:12 AM

i remember one part of the movie avatar where someone from the navi tribe was speaking about the humans that came to their land. the human retorted how they would love to learn their(navi) ways, but the sentiments of the navi were similar to "i cannot teach you anything, your cup is already full" i remember wondering how much truth that movie had in it! i know it could be considered as sacrilegious, with the tree and all...the pure seed (people who have not watched this movie are prolly scratching their heads by now) to me it was not religious... its was either truth or not. i do not view it as a movie that would make one stray from their beliefs, if anything it would make one more convinced of a One True God(whom even the demons believe and tremble)..

anyway, i'll always remember that line "i cannot teach you anything, your cup is already full"...

it begs the question, how full is your cup as you approach the throne of GOD?

I'm afraid mine is more empty than it should be. But do you know the fear that one day you could be really thirsty for God and your cup being too empty? I think many people (including me) keep their cups too full out of fear, because they don't fully trust God will fill it again in time...

Very true, Nyanda. Have to keep our eyes and ears open. When you believe you have all truth...that's when you're on dangerous ground. You can only hope you have what you need...and keep searching for more. Doesn't mean you'll find anything, but that's the attitude you need to have. Search until you're dead.
