He was awfully arrogant, would you not say?
I mean, if someone went waltzing around town these days claiming to be the son of a god I don't think they would last long. Sure, he had a few lessons, some stories. But I mean. I cannot really blame the pharisees. Some young runt strutting around claiming to be the son of your god? You would think they would react in such a way. I think it's a great accomplishment on their part that he lasted as long as he did. That's a whole lot of patience going on.
He was not that patient. I mean seriously. He died so young!
I do not know about you, but I find it extremely difficult to remain kind and pleasant if I'm not modest. Somehow it gets in my head that I'm better than someone else, and then I look down on them, consciously or not, and if I look down on someone then I'm not treating them the way I would like to be treated. And personally I do not want to be treated like a peon.
So not only did the disciples have loads of conviction, they were also incredibly submissive.
I mean, they fought over who would be his favorite wingman. Thats a bit obsessive.
We learned in Wuthering Heights that obsessive people are not exactly stable. So whats to say they did dig up his grave to see him and think he was reborn because they were crazy enough to see ghosts? I don't know.
All I can say is, he might have been a wise man, but he certainly was not a perfect man.
Mais, Je ne sais pas.
