Lessons from the Movies

In the latest Batman movie,
Bruce Wayne
needed
to have the wisdom
to know how
to make the final leap
that would free him
from his prison,
and so,
when he took
that wisdom,
he turned
and tossed the rope
in to help out the others
who were trapped below;
he did not just walk off
and leave them there
in a hole
in the ground
saying, "I got out
on my own,
do it yourself."  

He remembered
what it was
that was the source
of his freedom
and did not stab them
in the back
after they had supported
his effort
to gain his freedom.
