Final moment of Truth

Probably the most influencing movie scene I have ever seen was at the end of the Schindler’s list. It is at the end of the war when Mr. Schindler stands in front of all the Jewish prisoners he had saved from extermination, and suddenly realizes, that he could have done more to save a few more people. He, who have done so much and saved so many is ashamed and embarrassed for all these that he didn’t save. He says: “oh, I could have done more, I could have traded my car for another few lives, and this pin that I’m wearing, I could have got one more live for that”. To me this is a sheer enlightenment as I believe we are all going to feel the same one day. One day, when we will return our soul to god and stand in front of him, no matter how righteous or good-doers we believe we are today, we will have a hard time looking in the mirror and ask ourselves: “why?, why didn't we do more for more people. We had the means; we had this life and this body; we had the freedom of choice. Why didn’t we use it better for the world and its people? At least for those that were close to us, why didn’t we do more?” This feeling of Shame and Miss is going to be very unpleasant and I think that if we’ll think about it enough today, we might do more today, while we are still here in this world and have the freedom of choice. And like in the movie, when Schindler’s assistant, Itzhak Stern(Ben Kingsley) is comforting Mr. Schindler for this horrible feeling, telling him how much he did do for all these people that he saved, so will the Angels in heaven comfort our soul, reminding us of the good actions we have done while we were alive.

if you haven’t seen the movie, go see it today. If you saw it already, see it again!

And please, Do one good thing today...
