Last night, I went to watch "The Chosen" at Mountain View Performing Art theater. Little did i know of the novel (it's actually a very popular one), I am fascinated by the way the author portrays the depth of personal relationships, relationship between two young men and the relationship between father and son.
He illustrates the friendship through profound simplicity of going on long walks together, spending time to grapple with intellectual and spiritual considerations, and also how they show an honest and passionate desire to truly understand each other and the different worlds from which they come.
Also the portrayal of fathers who care so deeply about what their sons think and how their young minds are developing. How they inspire, encourage and guide their sons with their best knowledge and at the same time, learn to realize the path they have imposed on their sons' future and respect the individual desire for life goal.
At this age, we are so caught up by our busy lifestyle. I feel like there is not much time friends and family can actually spend together to truly get to know each other, and to learn things that really matter to each other.
