Thinking About Our Past

Have you seen The Butler yet?

I saw it yesterday.  I very strongly recommend it.  Having lived through that history in the northwest part of the United States and having voted for or against each of the presidents in the White House during the butler's time of employment I was stimulated to revisit my own history.

I thought about what I might have done differently.  How I might have been different.  How I grew and changed.

The butler (based on a true story and true incidents) was who he was.  He changed even when he did not know he was changing.  In many ways he is 'every person' -- and so are you and so am I.

See it and then leave a comment.
