Few days ago I watched movie “The Ten Commandments”, well you thinking I want talk about religion and some unbelievable story! In fact yes, but I want look at it from a different prospective.
Despite the huge arguments may arise by debating about some scenes from the movie or someone wants to search for explicit evidences. The film has gone a story which is shared by Jews, Christians, and Muslims all over the world. The one of the amazing parts of Moses journey to the Promised Land is their travel in deserts for forty years. Can you imagine, if you travel by airplane you can not stand nine hours flight! How about travelling desert for forty years?
Those people who been led into desert just been suffering for 400 years. They were looking to heaven of the Promised Land where will enjoy freedom and self dignity. Instead, they just were wondering in desert for all that time without experience to neither survival nor supplies. They just trusted Moses to lead them. Who could lead such people for forty years and keep their faith. Of course, some of them could not continue and tried to rebel but many passed the test. You might say that miracles were happening to them all the way to keep their spirits up when needed. I do not think that was the reason for them to bear all those years waiting for their destiny. I think the main lesson could affect me was their TRUST. According to the movie, they trusted a man who had no plan but to follow whatever he was told.
This is what we lack in our life now. We just can not trust anybody. The first lessons we learn from life is never trust. Never trust strangers, friends, relatives, wives/husbands, clergies, scientists, books, doctors, car salesmen, and you can name thousands. You may say that I exaggerate but if you consider it for a moment you may agree. We are lost because we try to live against our nature, our social instinct that implies no mankind can live alone. Trust is uncompromising to live nice life with others. I must depend on my surrounding people to back me up when needed, and vice versa. If someone has a trustable person beside him feels he/she very confident. At work, I try to gain the trust of my colleagues. At life, I try to show my friends that I’m trustworthy to take the same. At home, I trust my family to make them comfortable. But sometimes when a trust is needed all those people may turn away. We keep looking for someone to trust us but do we trust them. If we want the world to trust each other we should start by ourselves.
At the end, we all looking for someone to trust and guide us through life. I trust in God.
