@Wilso – The movie did a great job of depicting the reality of corruption that exist right outside our doorsteps – and sometimes in our own homes. Just thinking of how the love of money, power, and the desire for more has led to massacres and mass murders of tribes, races, religious groups, etc. It’s sad. It’s sick. I’m grateful to have had the chance to escape for a few hours in the world of Pandora. Though unrealistic, *Avatar* allowed me to step outside of the harsh reality that we have all been forced to swallow. Using our imaginations to envision what could be is just enough to inspire us to make what may have been a fictional movie somewhat reality.

Thanks for the comments.

In some ways Pandora resembles life on earth before Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden. A new heaven and new earth is mentioned in Rev. 21:1.

What if Pandora became a way of life HERE? What if we began rethinking the way we live and the systems we’ve developed and the restrictions we have placed on one another? I wonder if movies like these are signs of what could be. I wonder if writers and producers are divinely inspired to create films that captivate the human mind for a reason. What if these films were meant to be more than just mere movies at the box office? What if they were tools of God, used to deliver a message?

Sorry for all the “what ifs”. I can’t help but imagine and live in the possibilities. I think conversations like these are missing from today’s society. We’re too concerned with our paycheck, our bank accounts, and our selfish ambitions to really create the kind of world we all long to live in. But what if?

On a wonderful day of the year, again I was struck with sadness as the very core of me longed to become part of this world.

That we can create in our imagination a world such as this is a testament to the reality that it exists beyond our wildest dreams. Sure, it may sound insane, but I say that what we can imagine, God has only created something more for us. How is it that one can fabricate such a fabulous world out of their imagination? Awe inspiring.
