Most people have seen the animated Disney cartoon "The Lion King." If you haven't, well then you're just not cool. Leave this fucking blog now, watch the fucking movie, than come back and read my blog. Otherwise, you won't know what the fuck I'm talking about. And yes I'm saying fuck a lot. Cause that's just how I roll.
In the cartoon, there's an exchange of dialogue between an adult Simba and the wise baboon Rafiki that deals with talking about the past. Simba doesn't want to go home and face the "terrible" thing he thinks he's done. He'd rather live the rest of his life in exile that have to face the family and friends he left behind. Rafiki tells him to go back but Simba still doesn't want to, even though Rafiki tells him all will be forgiven; that they'll just be happy to have him back. But Simba's afraid of what will happen when they find out what he's done. You can see the shame, pain and fear on his face as this exchange takes place. When he attempts to walk away again, Rafiki whacks him on the head with his staff. When Simba asks him why he did it, wise Rafiki tells him:
"What does it matter? It's in the past."
If only human beings had that same attitude....
