There's Only Fun and Boring (Proverbs 14:12)
Exhibit AKey Evidence
- That's The Plague in Hackers (1995), the film's villain, explaining why he isn't worried about framing a group of teenagers for his crime.
- The movie writes him as the bad guy, but the line itself sounds a lot like the way much of the world talks today. Nothing is right or wrong anymore, it's only whether it feels exciting or dull.
- Scripture warns that a path can feel completely right and still lead somewhere you never meant to go. Feelings make a poor compass.
- Right and wrong are still real, whether we find them fun or boring.
Exhibit BFrom the Word
“There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”
Clip: Hackers (1995), dir. Iain Softley. Used as fair-use commentary.
