"Look Beyond What You See"



Ever have that one scenery you wish your camera could capture the way you feel as well?

Below is a #photo my father took from the highest mountain named, "Seoraksan (설악산)"
located in the Gangwon Province in eastern #SouthKorea.

Why is it so foggy?
Because we're in the clouds ~

Isn't it majestic?~

Now before you look at this next photo below...

Try to tell yourself to Look Beyond What You See

Hard to see anything beyond that mountain eh?

Well my friends, it was just a metaphor :)

Are you all familiar with my all time favourite #Disney film "The Lion King"?

If you are, did you also know there is a sequel to it titled, "The Lion King 1 and 1/2"?

In the classic animated Disney movie, our comedic and loyal friend Timon the meerkat is in search of a place called, "Hakuna Matata."
The phrase "Hakuna Matata" originates from Swahili from Central East Africa
and it means "No Worries" or no trouble.


As our little friend Timon desperately searches for this Utopian place with no worries,
he asks a wise Baboon along the way named Rafiki to help him by either
pointing him in the right direction or even draw a map for him.

()

Rafiki instead says, "To find it, you must look beyond what you see..."
Timon is terribly confused, "What the heck is that supposed to mean?!"
...


Well my fellow Steemers,
perhaps this is something we can all think about
the next time we look off into the horizon or amazing #scenery.

For myself, my Hakuna Matata is everywhere I go.

What do I mean by this?
Thats for you to munch on ;)

The world is moving ever so fast, technology has evolved the way we interact with one another and most of all the way we experience things right before our eyes.

Thoughts to share:


Fellow Steemers,

  • Do you catch yourselves sometimes focusing too much on capturing food, people, or scenery with your devices?

  • Do you sometimes feel It takes away the full potential of things?

-[I'm ultimately talking about the REAL experience behind each and every thing we do.]-

  • Where is your Hakuna Matata ?


If we are all looking at the world through our little screens -
My friends, what do YOU think you will see Beyond it?
