Last week the movie - Dawn of the planet of the apes was released, as much as I acknowledge it was a fictional story, some very relevant lessons could be taken from it. The central character, Caesar was the leader of a community of intelligent apes who had made their home in muir woods above the San Francisco area, meanwhile the humans in the city were recovering from a virus which had wiped out the majority of their population. As the movie progresses, the inevitable scenario develops where the two species run into conflict and on both sides they had peacemakers and elitists. Caesar, being the central character and leader of the apes was a peacemaker but he had his opposition in the form of his right hand ape - Koba. This takes us up to the climax of the movie, where human is fighting human, ape (Koba) is fighting ape (Caesar), elitism vs peace. It prompted so many thoughts... Being an ambassador for our particular faith is just as much about compassion for people...
