Live to Tell

I remember watching the Madonna concert that aired last year on NBC and being struck by one part of the concert in particular. Three different dancers illustrate a time in their life when they wanted to die because of the suffering around them, but they eventually realized that life was worth living...you'll see what happens next...
All I can say is that I am reminded of the fact that life on earth is a gift from God...and all human life is good. I know that's basic, but it's the common thread through out this video. Even the song sung by Madonna is about a pregnant woman who has decided to keep her child despite what others around her tell her to do.
The one disclaimer I feel I should give is that Madonna's chosen attire is made to resemble Jesus, she said in a later statement to the AP that it was a cathartic way of illustrating what we are doing in the world today...sacrificing innocent human beings in war and neglecting those in third world countries. I think she could have found a much better way to do that, but she's Madonna...and ya know...
