One of the greatest movies ever (this is an objective statement) is without a doubt Lion King, in no small part because Rafiki is one of the great characters of cinematic history (again, objective statement).
During one scene, Rafiki hits Simba on the head with a stick, seemingly out of nowhere, and they have this exchange:
Adult Simba: Ow! Jeez, what was that for?
Rafiki: It doesn't matter. It's in the past.
[laughs]
Adult 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.
Which one do we usually do? Do we try to stay away from the past, or do we learn from our mistakes? There is nothing wrong with making mistakes, I am not sure how we could avoid it, but the key thing is to learn from them, and grow from them, and become better people.
In fact, making mistakes might be the best way to learn that there is.
And now, a video that will be sure to brighten any bad day and clear any bad mood.
