- Seeing/Seeing
Differently
- The movie "Philadelphia" is an interesting example of a person (the attorney played by Denzel Washington) who starts out with refusal and unseeing then moves through levels of perception in response to an invitation to see the one (the AIDS patient, played by Tom Hanks) seeking his help, and ends up being an instrument of justice as his heart is converted. Not a bad illustration, really, of how the Spirit works in practical life. (submitted by Greg Youngchild)
