My daughter has been to see the new Disney Film, ‘Beauty and the Beast’ twice so far. She loves it. It’s a great story with a great moral. GK Chesterton put it like this: “There is the great lesson of ‘Beauty and the Beast.’ That a thing must be loved before it is lovable.” The news over the last month or so seems to have exposed the more beast-like aspects of the human condition and a loss of faith in the power of love.
