“We’re all playing roles,” roles we chose before we incarnated on earth. I’ve been reading and hearing this for years now, yet it’s been hard to grasp.
After watching The Six Triple Eight, I understand this trope in a new way. Surrounded by a score of well-known actors, Dean Norris agreed to play the arrogant, dismissive, misogynist General Halt.
Why would he do that? Because the story wouldn’t work without it. Kerry Washington’s character Charity Adams couldn’t lead 855 black women to sort and deliver a three-year backlog of WWII mail without overcoming hurdles both accidental and intentional.
Many people played a part. No small part was insignificant. I hope you’re shining today, being one of the good ones, not letting bad actors discourage you or tear you down. Carry your banner of truth and love proudly, in any weather.
