Hey Everybody!!
I just wanted to share that I am a HUGE MOVIE buff!!!! Around 500 DVD's in my collection.
I have a lot of great old TV shows too.
I used to watch it when I was a kid. There are a dozen or so shows that are awesome.
Andy Griffith show, Hogans Heroes, Starsky and Hutch, Etc.
But one that stands out among the rest is "Kung Fu" the television series.
It is funny,....because my son and I now study Kung Fu here in RI.
I study Wing Chun (On my own), Taijiquan, Emei Baguazhang and Xingyiquan at a great school here in RI called "Way of the Dragon".
My son studies Shaolin Kung Fu. The same art that David Carradine's Character (Qui Chang Cain) studied in the series Kung Fu.
My point to telling everyone this is that his character in the TV series was always an inspiration for me.
He was meek, gentle, kind and caring. His character was what I perceived Jesus to be akin to.
It is a awesome series with HUGE AMOUNTS of moral lessons in it. This fact, coupled along with the relaxed way in which he handled aggressors and aggressive situations, is an inspiring also.
His take on life was that every man, thought makes his own decisions, walks a path that is set before him. A seaming contradiction, yet they are one and the same. Much as the way we Universal Christians think of humans making decisions in life, yet God has a SET plan for every man.
Take a look at the series if you get a chance. It is well worth the time, money and effort. Even thought the religion that is behind it is Taoism, I feel like a lot of IT'S tenants are much more akin to TRUE CHRISTIANITY than those of MAINSTREAM CHRISTIANITY.
Love above all else. Truth is to be embraced. And respect of one's fellow man is it's theme.
Great Show!!!!
