#moral lessons

As we explore different mythologies, we can gain insight into humanity's universal themes—love, betrayal, courage, and sacrifice—showing us that no matter where we come from, our stories are interconnected.

The subject of Rosa’s painting – the story of the honest woodsman – is taken from Aesop’s Fables, a collection of ancient Greek tales with moral lessons. In the story, the god Mercury takes pity on a woodsman who has accidentally dropped his axe into a river. He retrieves two axes from the water, one gold and one silver; the woodsman claims neither as his own and, as a reward for his honesty, Mercury gives him both, along with the original axe. On hearing this a dishonest woodsman threw his own tool in the river and pretended that it was made of precious metal. Rosa’s painting shows Mercury in his winged helmet emerging from the water holding a golden axe, and the woodsman dashing forwards to claim it. The god, disgusted by the man’s dishonesty, denied him the axe.

This shows the beauty of this show. It has been forking four years of insane goodness. I got nothing but warmth and positivity from The Good Place. This is a comedy show but the moral lessons are no joke. It will have a special place in my heart. I will miss this show.
