So it is interesting the things you learn from Disney movies.
Tonight we were watching Brother Bear, and I must say it impresses me that Disney did a movie with such a deep thought provoking meaning. I am amazed they even touched an Eskimo legend in the first place, but they did such a great job. I mean the whole point of the movie is to open yourself to the things around you and see things how others might. That is a pretty big lesson that far too many children are not taught. Our society has worked very hard for women and minorities to have their voice and yet not everyone is treated equal.
What are we teaching our kids? are we teaching them to love as Christ did and accept others not matter what. We don't have to agree with them or approve of their choices but we do have to love them. That is what Christ taught. Whether you are Christian or not the lesson should be the same. Accept others no matter the choices they make. And be willing to look at things from their point of view. You don't ever have to agree you just need to be open minded enough to listen. Too often our children and even ourselves are caught in the traps of believes or view points.
Maybe we all need to sit down and watch Brother Bear until the message sinks in. Maybe that will help. Until we are willing to open our minds and our hearts, how will our children ever learn.
