Sword and the stone. A Disney movie I loved as a kid. To summarize a kingdom lost it’s king and the next ruler is to be chosen by pulling a sword out of a stone. The sword is special because it can only be pulled from the stone by one with a pure heart.
I loved the movie not because Arthur, the main character, obviously pulled the sword, but because he learnt. Arthur already had innocent humble open personality but that doesn’t mean he is perfect. Merlin, Arthurs mentor, showed Arthur how the world worked and how vast it is.
I long to have a mentor like Merlin who will teach me. But unlike the movie where the plot pushed Arthur to his greatness and mentor, reality relies upon the individual to get out of his comfort zone and start somewhere. I have not made that step yet, and I am not ready. But I know that that i will in time pull the sword from the stone.
