A time to kill

i've just finished watching A time to kill. i think this is my 2nd time coz i'm quite sure it's been aired on tv3 a long2 time before. anyway, this movie is an adaptation of John Grisham's book. it's an excellent movie and it really is inspirational and all. my favourite part was at the end when the defense attorney (Matthew McConoughey) gave his final speech. omg! his words. he could really play with people's emotion. it was terrific. anyway, here's one of my favourite quotes from the movie.

"what is it in us that seeks the truth? is it our minds? or is it our hearts?"

i guess the fact that such simple rhetorical questions could provoke us and actually shift our perspective is quite fascinating. and maybe the fact that most of the times we go about living our lives without even realizing it.

i heard a man gave a speech once where he said 'the heart is the essence of mankind. it is in the heart that we have values. it's how we're able to separate wrong from right' he also gave a simple yet meaningful example. a cat. when a cat gets food from its master. how it sits in front of him taking time to enjoy the food. but just see the difference, when it creeps into someone's kitchen to steal food. and goes running away into the back of an alley. gobbling up the food in a flash. i guess it shows that even animals understand the values behind their actions. which they weren't even taught.

anyway, i'm not quite sure how I got on talking about all this. (~_^). i just wanted to share the quote from the movie (before i forget). zass!
