“He who has faith has … an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well – even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.” – B. C. Forbes (1880 – 1954) Scottish journalist

Shere Khan – Exploring the Character Of The Legendary Disney Villain
“Talking about the amazing antagonist characters portrayed in Disney’s movies, it’s impossible not to mention Shere Khan. This dangerous predator, the true king of the jungle, evokes fear not only in the eyes of animals but also in men. Previously, he was a best friend of Baloo, Louile, Hathi, Bagheera, and Kaa. But something went wrong, something turned him into this egotistical leader, turning all his power to intimidate others. He was a loving grandchild, a good friend, but it all changed dramatically. Maybe it all was born out of the thought that if Shere Kahn showed weakness, other animals wouldn’t respect him.
Being a true friend to his party, and taking on numerous adventures, saving lives he probably seen the world from a new perspective, understanding things about himself he never thought of. He had some evil cracks in his persona along the way, but only when he had turned to his dark side he became as intimidating, as he always wanted to be, instilling fear just by his presence. This is a great and deep character, having good qualities, but driven by his own lust for power he turned to this villain. That’s probably why he takes such a big part in the Disney universe, and we still mention his character, despite the fact that the world first saw him over fifty years ago!” https://r-book.club/essay/character/shere-khan.html
The Child’s faith is new —
by Emily Dickinson
The Child’s faith is new —
Whole — like His Principle —
Wide — like the Sunrise
On fresh Eyes —
Never had a Doubt —
Laughs — at a Scruple —
Believes all sham
But Paradise —
Credits the World —
Deems His Dominion
Broadest of Sovereignties —
And Caesar — mean —
In the Comparison —
Baseless Emperor —
Ruler of Nought —
Yet swaying all —
Grown bye and bye
To hold mistaken
His pretty estimates
Of Prickly Things
He gains the skill
Sorrowful — as certain —
Men — to anticipate
Instead of Kings —
getting a new sponsor following direction, been apprehensive about that, and therapy…somethings coming, something i’ve been stuffing and avoiding my whole like, and there was a reason, now with God’s help, i will be able to work through, whats been keeping me from moving forward.. the ability to bond with others my family , fear, always thinking the worst in peoples motives…
Yesterday a 20 something with 3 years said nowadays he likes to tell himself that ‘the thing for me is on its way.’ I like that in terms of faith. It’s reassuring.
