As a child I used to watch movies starring heroes and villains. I
knew the difference between good and evil before I even understood how I came
to be a part of this world. My thoughts were fueled by stories of innocent
princesses, evil witches, scary monsters, brave knights and strong warriors. I
watched Disney movies and I read about magic and missions. The stories were
fascinating and exciting. But what I didn’t realize was that as I began to get
attached to the fictional tales, to root for the heroes and hate the villains;
I was subconsciously learning to side with the good guys. I was being taught to
recognize the good qualities in a hero and to admire the way they fought for
what was just and brought the villains down in the end. I learned that good
always wins.
