One of the toughest facts of life is that it is impossible to change the past. Furthermore, change is the only constant. Nevertheless, people do have the choice to leave behind their former lives to strive for a better future. That is one of the compelling themes that Mr. Ben explores in his stage play What Are We Leaving Behind.
Written from a Christian perspective, this play reveals harsh truths about reality. For example, James is an independent man, but he is still fundamentally human. In real life, sometimes people do forget that they are mammals within the animal kingdom. Additionally, the play reveals how there are restrictions and responsibilities associated with independence. Fools would assume that they could do whatever they want when they become adults, but real adults hold themselves accountable for their actions. This play beautifully and tragically showcases how James has to accept that there really are forces beyond his control.
People might be mortal human beings, but sometimes leaving behind what they cannot change is the only action that they must do to begin anew.
