[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Circle of Life song from The Lion King comes to my mind after reading the Shakespeare bit. [/quote]

Are you man or beast?[/quote]

I'm a talking lion.

What kind of question is that?[/quote]

Just in case you were making a serious observation, and not just being silly:

You equated Macbeth's exquisite disgust towards and acceptance of the materialist reality of human existence with the "circle of life" we observe in the natural world.  I actually found that rather insightful.

Because if the materialist worldview is right, we are, actually, a beast.  A talking one, as you said.  But there is nothing to us that transcends our physical body.  Materially, we do not differ from our brother mammals.  We might happen to edge them out along the evolutionary chain, but our lives our snuffed out as utterly as theirs when all is said and done.

(My oldest daughter loved that you chose a talking lion...she loves The Chronicles of Narnia.  Great stories.  You should read them to your kids sometime.)[/quote]
