영겁으로 바라보기, 노회찬 6411
魯會燦 | Roh Hoe-chan

놀랍다.

사람이라는 존재는...
2미터도 안되는 뼈와
100kg도 안되는 살과 피를 가지고,
1.5Kg도 안되는 뇌를 가지고,
우주만큼 무한한 꿈과 상상력을 가지고 있다는 것이…

어떤 사람의 삶의 무게와
생각의 크기와 깊이는
우주만큼 무한하다는것이...

놀랍다.
이 사람의 인생은 참으로...
존재를 각성하고 나서,
일보, 우일보, 진일보한 하루하루가...


6411 연설, 검은불판 연설을 듣기전에는
매스컴으로 비쳐지는 거울속의 모습만을 인식하고 있다가
이 영화를 계기로
순수한 이 분의 모습을 들여다 보게 되었다.

삶의 목표와 행동들을 더 잘 볼수 있게 했으며,
이분과 더 가까워지는 소중한 시간을 가지게 되었다.

자신의 삶을 살기에도 바빠,
주변을, 남들을, 되돌아 볼 여유가 없는 일반인에게,
자신의 손을 먼저 내밀며,
개인 삶의 목표와 정치 삶의 목표를 일치 시키며
자신의 행보를 이어 나아갈 수 있다니...

이미 값진,
2시간이었다.

이미 이세상에 계시지 않지만,
더 오랫동안 그 정신이 남아 이세상에 영향을 미칠것을 기대한다.

아쉽게도 악기 연주와 노래를 듣지는 못했지만…
