Metaphor - Documentary - IMAX Africa: Serengeti - Calf Standing

This is a video clip from the nature documentary at the top of this page. This clip shows that in nature - those who are
not strong enough to stand on their own (After a period of trying to encourage / help), must be left behind for the greater good.
This is also what 2012 is about. We help each other - but WE do not protect "LIFE" at ALL COSTs. Unlike the message portrayed in almost every MOOvie.
Besides - the SOUL (SOL = LIGHT) is more important.  Those who are unable / unwilling to evolve, and stand on their own - will die out.


One of my favorite "sayings" these days is "Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.

- User comment from an internet news story

...so much for FAith and beLIEf. If you were going to be reunited with your BFF Jesus, Allah, "God," etc...wouldn't you want to die sooner?
And besides - since everyone you know is in heaven, sooner or later, - why the delay?  Oh - the hypocrisy.


For those outside of the US or with no access to the IMAX DVD - here is an appropriate substitute.

Documentary - BBC - Wild Africa
