I am really bad in remembering exact quotes from movies. When I watched the Jungle Book scene on how King Louie tried to persuade Mowgli, I was reminded of a similar scene in the book of Genesis.
Mowgli said the red flower is dangerous and the wolves didn't let him play with it. King Louie argued that they told him so because whoever controls the red flower will be "on the top of the world". This scene sounds very familiar to me. Wasn't it like what Satan said to Eve to persuade her to eat the forbidden fruit ? "... your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil"
Now that I think about it again, that scene is not something that happened to Adam and Eve. It is something that happens to me very often. God didn't want me to do so and so because I will miss the fun, I will lose the "power". I am not talking about a big crime like cheating on someone or stealing, but I am talking about simple ordinary sacrifices that God wants me to do.
At times when my conscience tells me not to book a flight ticket out of impulse just because it is cheap, Satan says "come on, everybody is doing it. Isn't travelling frequently a normal thing to do?it gives me power on Facebook. How many ppl will" like" ur travel photos? " or when my conscience tells me not to watch videos out of curiosity, Satan says I will miss the happenings that everyone knows!
This may sound silly to you :p but I think that scene really reminds me of the daily struggle of the false power that King Louie's promises to Mowgli
