An Act of Heroism
This clip isn’t easy to watch, and my heart goes out to this mother and child. What a great example of virtue and TrueManhood from this husband and father. The man’s father puts it well by saying that love will fix the situation. It may seem ridiculous to some, but love heals. Afterall, do you think God liked seeing His Son dying on the cross? Not a chance. But, the love which Christ poured out for us, by giving up His life, was love at its core. This man, Brian Wood, knew what it meant to love.
This piece shows me several things:
- Our society has a drastically obvious double-standard about pro-life issues. Notice how this pregnancy happens to be a baby – in this setting – but in most others, it’s simply a blob, a tissue-mass or an embryo.
- Our society drastically misunderstands virtue. If you notice, several times the gentleman’s actions were misinterpreted, saying that he made a choice and acted. Although he did make a choice to sacrifice himself, he acted out of virtue. The virtue of courage was obviously a part of this man’s life.
- Our society will likely see a video clip like this and continue to abuse alcohol and drugs. Selfishness runs rampant in our culture. Fight it by not being selfish. Be a selfless servant.
My condolences to the family.
TrueMan u!
