Boys Next Door Act 2
Jack, I like Jack. He seems to be stressed out, even at his whits end at some times with these gentlemen but he still loves them and even calls them his little associates. To me Jack sees himself in these men, he sees someone who is free of pressure, of worry, and they can be who they want to be. At some times I think Jack may even envy this. He sees who he can be when he looks at them. They are happy just being them selfs, they don't need anything but good friends and they seem to do well. Jack looks at these men in a different light. Most would look at them and say why, or laugh and turn their heads because they feel superior to them in some way, but in many ways these men are far more superior than the average person. In the Bible we are told to have the faith as children and to be like children in some ways. have you ever noticed how a child wont judge another child by their looks, clothing, or anything else. We as the "normal ones" can't seem to grasp this and it is something that these men have not lost or forgotten about. They don't judge each other and they don't put each other down, they are a family and I think their is much to be learned here. Just something to think about.

I agree when you said much is to be learned from people like the ones in this story. Most of the time we never think to look at the heart of someone in this condition but it can really be surprising when one may find out how intelligent and gifted they really are.
ReplyDeleteI like Jack too, I mean who doesn't like Jack?
ReplyDelete"To me Jack sees himself in these men, he sees someone who is free of pressure, of worry, and they can be who they want to be. At some times I think Jack may even envy this." I completely agree..this is a great point. I like how you also reminded us that the Bible commands us to have faith like Children. Free of worry and stress. Great post!
