Jesus is aware of his limited Time on earth; therefore, he cannot be drawn into endless disputes where justice is only seemingly at stake.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Film\u00a0<\/span>Defined Time<\/span><\/em>\u00a0starring Justin Timberlake, he plays with the idea that from the age of 25, people stop aging, and at the same Time have only one year left to live.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Instead of money, they pay for everything with minutes, hours, and days from the rest of their lives. The remaining Time shines on their forearms. How can they get it? By working hard, gambling, or engaging with local gangs. They look for victims, join hands with them, and steal their Time on their counter.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Coffee in such a world costs three minutes. The opposite has happened to the beliefs of enterprising people \u2013 money has become Time. Such an idea can disturb us and, at the same Time, disrupt the value ladder.<\/span><\/h2>\n

It’s<\/span> a shame that such a display is not on the forearms of people who even today have endless legal disputes with their neighbors, siblings, or former friends.<\/span><\/h2>\n

The man who turns to Jesus as a judge in a dispute with his brother is also missing. Perhaps he takes him as God’s ambassador, who should judge justly as the God of the Old Testament, since Jesus claims to come from him.<\/span><\/h2>\n

However, Jesus is aware of his limited Time on earth, so he cannot be drawn into endless disputes, where justice is only seemingly at stake. His great intuition quickly grasps the whole case and identifies the real problem: this person’s greed. He thus elegantly avoids the trap. He knows that those traps are like pigs that stain people’s lives and steal their Time.<\/span><\/h2>\n

His foresight resembles the wisdom of a rabbi, as seen in the actions of a young boy who wanted to marry. And the rabbi supported him in this. Later, the bachelor decided not to get married because the bride’s family seemed strange. And the rabbi nodded: “Don’t get married. “<\/span><\/h2>\n

But then the young person found out that his father-in-law would buy him a car and arrange a well-paid job after the wedding. And the rabbi again agreed to his getting married. When the boy came to him for the fourth Time, saying that he would not get married because he would have to live with his in-laws, the rabbi told him in a raised voice: “Don’t get married. And I’ll give you one more piece of advice \u2013 get baptized. “<\/span><\/h2>\n

When the surprised bachelor asked for an explanation, he briefly answered that he would go to the priest next Time with such banalities and not to him<\/span>…<\/span> Even the rabbi understood that he was wasting Time with a person who would like to throw responsibility on someone else.<\/span><\/h2>\n

I remember three brothers whose father wanted to secure their future for life. In addition to the sprawling house, he also left them money, gold, and other property. However, three brides who had caused mutual animosity among their brothers could not have the final say. It ended in court, the brothers stopped talking, and people walked around the extinguished house for a long time.<\/span><\/h2>\n

The process of inheritance exposes relationships. The father concentrated on the property, but forgot the key that would have allowed the sons to divide it peacefully. He forgot that he had not yet created a home by building a house. Another might believe the illusion that by shortening the lives of others, he will prolong his life.<\/span><\/h2>\n

In one prayer to the Holy Spirit, the believer asks that the Spirit reveal to him the truth of created things, so that he can distinguish between illusion and what remains forever. Things create the appearance of life. The book of Ecclesiastes names it as vanity (hebr.\u00a0<\/span>hebel<\/span><\/em>) \u2013 which is the name of a cloud that evaporates when the sun’s rays touch.<\/span><\/h2>\n

If people live in healthy relationships, family and parish communities, we always find sharing (tal.\u00a0<\/span>zdivision<\/span><\/em>). Where sin prevails, there is division (tal.\u00a0<\/span>divisione<\/span><\/em>).<\/span><\/h2>\n

Accumulating with a false sense of security is also the central theme of Kie\u0161\u0165lowski’s last film from the cycle\u00a0<\/span>Decalogue<\/span><\/em>. Two brothers meet at their father’s funeral. They know that his father was a freak who sacrificed everything to collect stamps, and his family broke up for them.<\/span><\/h2>\n

When they walk into his stale Warsaw apartment, the presence of security features and a safe will indicate the rarity of the collection. To increase its value, switch from the pink Mercurius to the blue and yellow one.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Suddenly, they are overcome by the same destructive passion that was with their father. See it in the scene under the balcony when the older brother confesses that this is why he forgot all his problems. The brothers begin to communicate with the philatelists to find the missing mark. However, the owner of the pink Mercurio does not want to sell it. He is willing to exchange it for a healthy kidney to save his sick daughter.<\/span><\/h2>\n

The movie ends dramatically. While the older brother has his kidney removed, unknown perpetrators rob the older man’s apartment and take the entire rare collection of stamps.<\/span><\/h2>\n

At the end, the brothers’ smiles seemed to convince the viewer that they had succumbed to a false desire, but a nice brotherly relationship still took precedence.<\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
