You Belong to the Lord

Human life finds its true purpose not in radical autonomy, but in total surrender to God. Modern culture fosters a "baby consciousness"—an adolescent obsession with self-regard—that prioritizes the ego over communal responsibility. This self-preoccupation acts as a primary barrier to forgiveness, as individuals remain trapped in the resentment of their own wounded pride. By recognizing that life belongs to a higher power, as illustrated by the prayer in *Life of Pi* or the shared mission of the tank crew in *Fury*, one can break free from the cycle of ego-driven conflict. Embracing this divine mission allows for the radical, repeated forgiveness that Christ demands, shifting the focus from personal injury to the fulfillment of God’s will.
