"At 5 years old..."

Dublin Core

Description

More often than not, memes reference pop culture. Throwback pop culture is especially relatable (think, “only 90s kids will understand”). In this meme, life lessons are pointed out from a children’s movie, and as the caption points out, it is quite a deep lesson to learn. This moment in The Lion King (where Scar betrays Mufasa) is a pivotal point in the film, though as this meme suggests, also a pivotal moment in our lives. Going deeper, this meme proves that life lessons, such as not trusting those around you, can be learned at a young age. The pop culture tie-in softens the blow of the message while still maintaining its exigence.
