Lion King, Christians and Philosophy?

     "You have forgotten who you are and so have forgotten me. Look inside yourself, Simba. You are more than what you have become." 

     Not sure if anyone else picked up this vibe, but I was having Mufasa's ghost's lines running through my head as Lady Philosophy spoke to Boethius. I believe Mufasa and Lady Philosophy both saw their struggling sons, lost and lonely, grieving and a prisoner of their minds. Both came to free there sons (even if Boethius is a figurative son) from their self-made prisons.  Although things might not turn out so well for Boethius in the end...Hey Simba became king! (Looks like even philosophical ideas can be found in Disney movies!)
     But what does this have to do with Christians? Well, honestly, think about it. In class, as I was reading I started drawing multiple connections between a lost Christian and a lost Philosopher. In a way, Boethius was both.  He had 'pledged' himself to fortune. Which, in my opinion is the same as pledging himself to worldly comforts.  He had forgotten that every true philosopher (and Christian) is a gadfly, and gadflies always get swatted.  Sooner or later the world they are trying to bring change to will turn on them, and strip them of everything physically comforting and good.  This is the same for a Christian.  Christ says in Matthew 6:24 " “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."   The true treasures in life are spiritual virtues, knowledge, wisdom, eternal life in Christ.  "but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal."-Matthew 6:20. 
 As Christians we sometimes stray away. Life as a Christian is never to always be easy, and when we trust in comfort, we've stopped fully trusting in Him. We begin also to imprison our hearts and mind to worldly things. We become exiled from Christ, by our own doings. Christ, like Lady Liberty in the case, calls us back to our first love, Him.  "Remember who you are".
