Anti-heroes are complicated and misunderstood... And I find them fascinating!
Are they heroes? Don't they kind of look a lot like the villain? Do the ends really justify the means? A while ago I did a podcast with a friend of mine thinking about the "Black Adam" film and theology, and I talked a bit about anti-heroes there. But what about me?

I am so blissfully unaware of everything... unless it affects me directly or flashes up on my social media feed.
They say that ignorance is bliss.
Sometimes we'd rather close our eyes and have everything go away. Perhaps if we sleep things will be better when we wake. Someone will have magically fixed the problem. I guess this song just draws together the thoughts that I've already had with "Bridge over troubled water" and "Eyes of a child". Now this is something I wrestle with a lot as I do assemblies in schools and work with young people. I'm acutely aware of the world that I have inherited from my elders, the good, the bad and the ugly of it. And I'm increasingly deliberate in not wanting to just pass the buck of responsibility for changing it to those I work with. |
