The legend of King Arthur has lasted over a thousand years, in its time it would have been a beacon of hope for the peasants and even nobility. The thought of world peace and harmonious kingdoms ruled by a kind and just king is at the very least alluring.
Why the tales of Arthur stick to this day is that within each of us we still hope for world peace, though many are convinced that some supernatural power, alien, magic, some religious entity are required to resolve wars, strife and crimes.
The real magic is not supernatural it just requires us to see what is already here. Compassion, understanding and love is not supernatural. There is peace on earth , far more peace than there is war, far more people love one another than hate.
Each one of us is the Merlin with the power to pull peace, happiness and greatness from the woodwork. Merlin asks Arthur to use his imagination to make the magic work. The imagination is where the magic is and we all have it, the problem is that we use it for the negative instead of the positive. Think about the last time you worried about something, were you looking on the bright side or like most people fearing the worst?
The reason why kids are so happy is because they use their imaginations to think up an amazing future for themselves and for their world. What happens when they get older is that they are told, repeatedly that the world is a terrible place and that life is hard. We suck the magic right out of children, right out of humanity by believing that the magic of hope is useless. Today, I am here to take it back. Here's hoping to a brighter future shared by all.
