Circle of Life
After researching Hinduism for my research paper, I found that their idea of reincarnation is really powerful. The movie, The Lion King, really demonstrates this constant cycle of death and rebirth. In the movie the king, Mufasa, explains that there is a circle of life. He noted that when the lions die, they decompose and become part of the grass. The antelope eat the grass and then are eaten by the lions; thus completing the circle of life.
This notion does not directly follow the exact outline of what the Hindu people believe, but has a similar foundation of living on. It is interesting that the people of the Hindu faith are actually trying to improve their karma to be released from this cycle. You would think they would like the idea of being immortal; however, their release from the cycle shows that they have fully be enlightened and detached from earthly possessions. I recommend others see this movie and research into other religions that are not their own.
