The Lion King.

Ah the things you can learn from a classic Disney movie! We watched this as a family over thanksgiving and it's been in my mind ever since. I think this scene teaches so much of what we need to know about life.















Simba: I know what I have to do. But going back will mean facing my past. I've been running from it for so long. [Rafiki hits Simba on the head with his stick]
Simba: Ow! Jeez, what was that for?
Rafiki: It doesn't matter. It's in the past. [laughs]
Simba: Yeah, but it still hurts.
Rafiki: Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it. [swings his stick at Simba again who ducks out of the way]
Rafiki: Ha. You see? So what are you going to do?
Simba: First, I'm gonna take your stick. [Simba snatches Rafiki's stick and throws it and Rafiki runs to grab it]
Rafiki: No,no, not the stick! Hey, where you going?
Simba: I'm going back!
Rafiki: Good! Go on! Get out of here! [Rafiki begins laughing and screeching loudly]
