Dear Ravi:

I am glad you agree about the virtue of patience!

You wrote: “I don’t feel Simba ever cherished being treated special in particular. He and Mufasa just shared a wonderful father-son bond and he loved his father more than anyone and anything else”

That bond with his father- that is the special thing, the very bond.

Did you feel a special bond with your grandfather? Tell me… was it a different bond than what you experienced with your father, mother, grandmother…? I am trying to explore your bonding history now, to figure out the Special element.
