First, I have to say that I am not being critical or passing any sort of judgment, but I really do not understand the logic behind this man’s (or any person who does similar) logic.
You can’t force beliefs onto someone. In fact, you can’t make anyone do anything, not even if you held a gun to their head and cocked it. Ultimately, they have that free will and they make any and all choices. It’s irrespective of the consequences; if someone chooses not to listen, they can have their head blown off. They can also choose to listen, and they may still have their head blown off. The point is that the choice is made by them alone … so preaching to a crowd of young students has good intentions, but the purpose is all wrong.
Instead, why not choose to dedicate your time to people who do care and who will appreciate your time and effort?
I walked out of the library and sat down for a minute to listen to this guy speak (or shout to a deaf crowd, I suppose). His message was basically good. He didn’t heckle people … I think that at the current stage, one must draw the crowd in such a manner to get any sort of attention. People are so glued to their iPods, iPhones (GUILTY), TVs, Laptops, etc. But no —- he meant well.
Above anything, I admire what he’s doing, if not for just the mere desire of wanting to do some good … those good intentions … because I think every one needs a little bit of spirituality. The way things are in this present age is NOT pleasant, and it would do everyone well if they just remembered a few key things.
Anyhow, off my soapbox.
