Who Knows?

Well, I'm not so sure about these questers. They certainly have a unique way of searching for the grail; In my day were grabbed a sword, mounted a horse, and wandered around in the woods looking for a cup. It seemed to work for a few of us, anyway. At any rate, I don't believe all the speculation and dot connecting Baigent and his footmen have been doing will amount to anything. If you will all recall, the grail has been achieved and has left this earth forever. That's it. All gone. Besides, it would seem to me that the true value of the grail is in the lessons to be learned from its romances: Charity, faith, loyalty, caritas, and love for your fellow man are what count. Even Indiana Jones learned that in the end. Beides that, does Baigent not wind up like Perceval after he neglects to ask about the grail? Bitter and jaded, his faith gravely injured? All the work on his theory was promptly scooped up by Dan Brown who made BANK from it. Baigent even lost the law suit against him. It looks like the grail ultimately served Mr. Brown best. Furthermore, if the theory of Jesus' bloodline is correct, might it not be something better left a secret? It was, after all designed to be a secret from the beginning. Perhaps God was making his own statement about it when he elevated the man who turned the theory into fiction, and forsake the man who unveiled the secret as fact to the world. Who knows?
