Having so much faith in logic that you believe it eliminates the need for faith.

"All things work together for good to them that love God..." -Romans 8:28

All of creation is limitations. It would have been great if we had mental telepathy, for example. But mental telepathy wasn't in the design, so we learned other, more interesting ways to communicate.

In doing so, we discovered that those other ways we learned --to overcome the limitation and express ourselves-- have their own beautiful characteristics. Those beautiful characteristics would have been unimaginable, and completely hidden, if we had been "blessed" with telepathy, and were not limited in this way.

Consider... music, poetry, dance, paintings, and sculpture, as examples of things that would never have been.

Within every limitation there is some new, previously unseen and unknown thing to learn, and learn about. And with the learning, comes the purpose.

Great video.

I like how the previous attempts (previous takes) become part of the final work. The colors on their outfits for example. But also check out the messed up, and broken props, which can be seen in the backgrounds of each area. Left-overs from previous takes.




Irony alert: Read the lyrics. Does it strike you as odd that a group with such amazingly cool ways to say things, has so little to actually say?
