Wk 4:Critical thinking films

The first film The secret of Faqir, made me think what to do first. Should i read the text of listen to the song first? well i watched it twice to piece it together. It made sense after a while. Is pretty much saying that he recognized that he did not have magical powers of such but he did know that he made people feel better about themselves. What i admire that he asked his guru trying to give him pointers on how to do better and he gave him an answer that we all should abide by: Believe in yourself. give yourself some faith that you can pretty much accomplish anything you want. That is what i took upon watching the short video. No matter what religion or in what kind of god you believe in, every human being must think a certain way to be happier and content with life.
the second short film which was of Nicolas Cusa made no sense to me at first but after really getting into the quotes, it got interesting. The fact that when we actually hold no sanity in us, is actually when we let go of god. Cusa's quote talking about attainment, getting a hold of something you really want but using your own effort to do so just makes it all such a beautiful place. Everything is earned with sacrifice or some sort.
