Disney today is the greatest propagandist in the World
Just went to see Lion King 3 D with my niece and found it to be a refresher course in the Walt Disney propaganda machine and their troubling concept of monarchy. Let us not forget that one of the most troubling aspects of relying of the first offspring of a king or queen to take over the kingdom is the unreliability of that son or daughter or next in line for the succession is their capabilities. Most of the time this did not work out and many times there was the constant threat of murder and conspirators. The lion king gave the impression that a King can solve the problems in Pride Rock. Lets hope the children are being taught the valuable lessons of real history? Or are we teaching more fantasy? Fantasy is a nice escape but we must know the difference.
This is my learned reality, human life only has a twenty five year period in which we are MOST productive. The years between twenty five and fifty. After fifty if one is made up of good stock and very innovative and lucky they might get another twenty years of mentoring and passing on experience. This is no fantasy and its reality. Here's why, after fifty years your eyes and hearing begin to fade. Your stamina and reflexes begin to fade and even though you are being told that you are as young as you feel it just is not true. A happy heart and clear mind is always a great blessing but don't kid yourself by thinking these things will always be yours. These are scary times because of all the information and disinformation that is surrounding us every day. We must return to honesty and stop pretending that the world revolves around our every move. We must be mindful of our frailties and accept our mortality. Do not squander your youth or your money. God Bless and good luck.
