"The Jungle Book" - My Favorite Book Of All-Time

Books that I have read so far and being my all-time favorite goes to "The Jungle Book" . Written by Rudyard Kipling ( 1894 ) it has since been made into numerours popular animated movies with even higher popularity ratings. It's always my great relaxation while watching it on T.V. I never get tired with the stories.

Although the characters in "The Jungle Book" are made up of all kinds of animals with only one human "Mowgli" the jungle boy, the stories have good inspiration, motivation and revelation for us mankind to ponder. We learn from them how to tackle and dwell with even the most wicked animal/person that comes in the way or to overcome the most dangerous situation that we may encounter, out of expectation, in life.

There is always a solution to every incident, conflict or assault that arises among other animals which belong to the opposition troops but somehow, they choose to settle the disagreement in a give-and-take manner. It is hardly a drop of blood or kind of violence although cunningness and wickedness are within some of the more vicious species but on a good day, they dance and sing and play happily until the next instant, some twists and turns arise again.

Jungle Book indeed is teaching us how to live in a community in love and in unity as the strength and power to fight against other negativity when met face to face. You then can tell who your true friends are.

I haven't read the book, Hilda, but I did see the film, and absolutely adored it! It's a great metaphor.
