To Know We Are Not Alone
Dr. Redick mentioned a line from the movie Shadowlands about C.S. Lewis. Lewis says, “We read to know we are not alone.”
We discussed solipsism, the idea that one can be stuck in a world of one’s own making – isolated and alone. The alternative to this is creation – we create to know we are not alone. As human beings we need and want connection with others. Art allows us to discover what is ultimately real by establishing communion with those around us.
