Thoughts on The Blind Side
I saw The Blind Side today. I think it has some very thought-provoking and positive messages. One of the questions that it raises is: Is there a such thing as true chesed? When we do kind things for other people, can we make sure that we are doing these things totally for them and not for us at all? Does it matter? Is it OK if we do something nice for someone else when it also benefits us in some way? There are a number of other important themes in the movie as well. So...if you need a break from studying/an idea for vacation and want to do something relaxing and meaningful, seeing The Blind Side is a good choice!
