Beauty & the Beast

Do you remember in Beauty & the Beast when Beast is soo frustrated with Belle for not coming to dinner even after he asked so "kindly?"

Beast was really just upset because he let his hopes get up. He was trying so hard to not lose hope that someone was out there for him. But is easier for Beast to love Belle than for Belle to love Beast.

Belle had spent her whole life wanting something more and knew that her guy would be a prince like in her books. Who could blame her for not seeing Beast in the way he saw her?

And so the audience feels for both characters, wanting them to have a happy ending; but how?

Why point fingers at each other? We should try to understand each other and grow closer in our friendships. For who can know which of those friendships may grow into a happily, ever after?

"A friend loves at all times..." ~ Proverbs 17:17
