I just watched Showtime’s “Bang , Bang, You’re Dead”.  Pretty powerful.  It highlights the thing that I consider to be THE most longed for experience: to be known.  To be ignored,  to be “downgraded”;  to be “devalued”,  is the ultimate slap in the face.  Rejection;  a lack of faith in the person that we each can become;  are, in fact,  called to be by God;  created to be by a loving creator who shapes us for a purpose.  To “block” that purpose;  even to fail to “encourage” that purpose,  is to fail in our individual callings as members of the human community.
