Jackie Lentz: Blog #7 K-Pax

One of the feelings this movie brought out of me, was the regret of believing something that may not be true. I believe with most of my heart that there is a Heaven and a Hell. I don't know how certain I am that I'll get into Heaven but I really do believe there is one. That Hell option though makes me want to be so wrong. I really want the truth to be we just die, the lights go out, and well, that's all she wrote. I'd really want that if Haven weren't real. I can't wait for Heaven though, because my version of Heaven is so beautiful that believing in Hell just might be worth it. I'd like to believe that Prot was an alien, just because the alternative of him just being crazy is not as beautiful a story and life is filled with so many sad and ugly stories, that when I see a nice one come around I just want to be ignorant for a little while. I've never handled being wrong well, though. I don't think I'm to like Hell at all.
