  The laws aren’t to save. The laws are to show that we can’t save ourselves. We are sinners. The laws are a mirror for us to see ourselves. They reflect our sins. Because of that, we don’t worship the mirror: the mirror cannot save. If we worship the mirror, we worship ourselves. It’s better to love. If we are so fixated on laws and rules and forget to love, we are just worshiping ourselves. Our prides.  “Look at me!”  “I am the righteous one!”  We are worshiping ourselves. And not God.

  The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a fun, family-friendly movie. Highly recommended. I am most impressed with Taylor-Joy's performance. Having previously watched The Northman, I had expected Princess Peach voiced by her to have a deep, croaky voice, but Peach sounded just fine, likeable, dignified, and Peach-like.  The rest of the cast did a phenomenal job too, but it wasn't surprising. Pratt did a good job as Mario, and considering how goofy Pratt is, he was probably having a blast. Before the movie's release, there has a widespread concern about how Pratt did not sound like Mario at all in the early trailers, but it ended up a nonissue. (i.e. Mario did sound like Mario and not Pratt cosplaying). Jack Black as Bowser is an absolute no-brainer. The man was born to play Bowser. Just like any other video-game adaptation, the bigger a fan of the game, the more you would enjoy this movie. The game is filled with homages to many titles of the Mario franchise, including Mario Cart

Four definitions. The first one is very bad, and is by far the most popular. The remaining three are actually positive and good. That’s why life is hard. I wonder if this is a similar case to “literally”. “Literally” started out meaning exactly, truthfully what it is in the technical sense. But after a number of years during which many people misused the word and said things like, “I was staning him for like, literally a million years low diff!”, we now have a new, official definition of the word (see definition #4 below). adverb 1.      in the literal or strict sense. 2.      in a literal manner; word for word. 3.      actually; without exaggeration or ina
