In an era where things do not proceed as planned
I watched "Parasite," the first Korean movie to win this year's Academy Award in a language other than English. Against the backdrop of an unequal society, the story unfolded quickly and unexpectedly. The income gap between the rich and the poor is a common problem in modern society. More than that, what makes us think in this movie is the uncertainty of modern society where things just don't proceed as planned. Those who seem wealthy can lose everything in an instant. Just like the current situation with the coronavirus, who would have expected such an unprecedented spread across the world? We live in an era where an infectious disease from china can spread at such a rapid rate to the rest of the world. However, from the words of the Bible, we are able to find a hope and peace that transcends time. In an era of uncertainty, we want to find hope in the unchanging words of the Bible.
“I lift up my eyes to the mountains, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of Heaven and Earth.” – Psalms 121:1-2
