This is an account of an emotional man struggling to find a way forward in Jerusalem. A man who wants to explore Judas as never before, and building his own world with the war and struggle in the background.
The characters look a bit complicated to understand specially the three who share a loss. But Shmuel is a lot different from the others with full of sympathy and emotions for the whole world. The one who aligns with revolutionary ideas as well as the romantic ones (if you consider them independent).
War is not a solution for anything but unfortunately anyone who is in the power may end up thinking otherwise. The loss of one person is loss of a whole world for a small family. We're beyond our survival instincts for a long time since we evolved to what we're today but somehow struggle/violence never leaves us. It is still something that someday we might evolve out of but till that time it is going to be around. We'll keep falling for the words like nation, patriots, culture, language and what not.
Love is another thing which finds its meaning in loss and not in the achievement. It's always the unfulfilled love that gives the hope to wait it out. And it is not just for the people.
Traitor is one the most common word which can be used relatively. Which means that depending on the speaker it changes its perception. It doesn't really identify a person but exposes the feelings/biases of a speaker. But this is one of the easiest to get confused with if the listener/reader doesn't have the access to the full account. So, if next time you hear Judas, listen carefully.
Peace
