This was the first time for me to get to know the life of penguins. The scenes in“The March of the Penguins”were splendid and astonishing as well. After watching the movie, I could think of nothing but the wonder of nature, in which God constantly manifests himself.
Everywhere, the earth is full of life, even in such a harsh environment like Antarctica. The penguins were put there by God, together with their physical conditions and inborn abilities of recourse. During their entire lifetime, they have no other desires than to feed themselves, give birth to new generations and provide for their chicks during the very first months of their lives.
These are the instincts God bestowed on them and they never dissent. Even the most amazing part of their lives, in which the father penguins hatch chicks without eating for more than three months under the most turbulent climate, is also somehow their destiny, which they accept without any querimony.
Human beings, as the most wondrous creatures, are gifted with freedom and possibility of free will. Nevertheless, we continuously try to rebel against God’s will. The Good News Jesus brought to this world told us, that God’s will is nothing else than His love for us. However our little faith doesn't believe in it totally. And we always search for another way to find joy and love. Sometimes only in failure, we recognize that we are not on the right path. How I wish that I wouldn't always need to go astray before I reach the proper point. I believe in acceptance of God'ss will for my life, I can discover true joy and freedom of life.
