It’s In Our Nature

There is no greater act of hospitality than to embrace a stranger as one’s own. It’s in our nature.

I saw this commercial advertisement on television while traveling and staying in someone’s apartment in a foreign land. Where I am, nobody speaks a word of English, yet I am offered great hospitality from my new friends who ask for nothing in return except to reciprocate their offer of friendship.

As a frequent traveler I am often dependent on the kindness of strangers for my very survival. To me, this is perhaps the greatest film ever made and should be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

Can a television commercial be the greatest movie of all time? Watch and decide.
