So… Another day. Redacted just showed me his book The Lost Books of the Bible. I didn’t know that they didn’t include every book in the Bible, they cut some out. Why did they do that? How did they deem what was true and what was written as a fake? How can one tell what the inspired word of God is? And just what did they leave out? Redacted said that Jesus killed people. They can’t just leave that out.

 I need to learn more about what they edited out of the Bible, and why they did that. What was so bad about it? Isn’t that that the inspired word of God also?Did they leave it out because they didn’t understand? Sure, some things may be detrimental to the religion, but if it is from God it should be included. Just because one does not understand it’s not a reason to drop the issue.

 The issue of Lost Books cannot discredit the truth, or wisdom of the Bible as confirmed by worldly experience. Things like love and kindness still rain. The wisdom of the world fits perfectly into the view of Christianity.

 I still have to know what those Lost Books say. Things cannot be hidden. And it is a problem that there are Lost Books. I’ll trust what makes the most sense until it’s proven incorrect, or until such doubt is cast that it is irrational to believe…

So my story… Why are the lovers separated? I haven’t worked out a plot yet. Where do they start out? Where do they meet? How does the story progress? In what ways did the characters mature? I guess if they are separated by death, but always together because of the rainbow. There will be some Gatsby elements and mythology. I want them to learn that love is not the supreme god. How do they fall in love? And what makes it full of and not just lust at its best like Romeo and Juliet, in full passion? How do I get to the sexual passion in the commitment and the selfless friendship? Does one die to save the other? Which one dies? And from whose perspective is the story told?

 The stories have to be told by the gods. By love itself? From an anonymous onlooker… Or from one of the lovers. Could it be told from the perspective of the lover that dies? It could start after his death. I believe the girl will be the one to remain alive. The very end will switch to the perspective of the girl lamenting her lover and experiencing the rainbow. Death has made the truth known to the boy, but the girl is left to seek it out on Earth. It’s not a sad ending. Their love is preserved. But that comes with the knowledge that love is not the ultimate God. Love is not completion?

How is love not the ultimate God? Is it the best God we as humans can know? Aphrodite is not the true goddess of love. Not true love. I need to define true love. Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments. Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds. New or bends with the remover to remove. Oh no! It is an ever-fixed mark that looks upon Tempest and is not shaking. I would like to open the script with that as a title overlay on the screen. The script’s purpose is to define love; to find its meaning. What does love look like to humans? Can we know it’s God form?

 My script is a script about defining love! How perfect is that? How do we know love? I need to know these things. I can at least make a hypothesis. Not if it slows the progression of the script. The show must go on. I don’t need a full philosophy yet. It will come.
