Do Not Be Too Serious

Why Da Vinci Code wont be getting my $9.50

After reading this article, I’m impressed by the author’s open-minded way of thinking.
As a Catholic he kept his belief and refused to watch this movie but on the other hand he clearly noticed that this movie is clearly fictional. There are no collisions between these two ideas. One can both be determined and understandingly at the same time. I think the author has made a nice and clear example for all of us to follow— what exactly we should do when you think you are offended by others’ opinions.
Firstly one should not follow each other blindly, we must come up with our own ideas. And once we have these ideas we should not change them just to “catch up with others”. We must have faith in ourselves.
Secondly people should be understandingly. We need to stand in others’ shoes—we need to think for others, and that’s how people get respect from others. I think understanding is the only way to keep the world peaceful.
