We Are Our Own Saviours
Monday, June 8th, 2009If you are wondering, how I am came across the idea mentioned in the title, then let me inform you that Saving Grace, a detective TV show instilled this emotion inside my consciousness. Being a regular viewer and ardent fan of Saving Grace, I had a burning urge of giving vent my feelings and hence I decided to share my views with you.
Grace, the main lead in the show, Saving Grace is a lady detective. In spite of being a good person at heart, she indulges in acts of self destruction, from time to time. One such incident occurs, when after one of her drinking sprees, she ends up running her car over a pedestrian.
Being shocked by this accident, she pleads to god for help. She then sees a disheveled, tobacco-spitting man named Earl, who turns out to be an angel and offers her a new lease of life but only on the condition that she commits to a major changeover in her attitude. She agrees and temporarily her woes are resolved.
Just like Grace’s character we as mortal beings tend to fall prey to our own follies and look at others for help. For many such incidents in our life, the wonderful TV show, Saving Grace acts as a great guide.
Though, in the show Grace is being guided by an angel who keeps up his efforts of leading her to the right path, but if we analyze it deeply we can infer that it is in fact her consciousness that is guiding her. So Saving Grace in some way teaches us that whenever we take a decision we must look into our consciousness to see whether it’s right or wrong. Our consciousness will definitely guide us and prevent us from taking decisions that we might regret later.
Saving Grace is definitely a new approach towards producing detective TV shows. It has successfully finished two seasons and the next season is gonna kick start by mid of June. Hope this time around Grace is more circumspect and follows the angel’s instructions.
