DO MONSTERS REALLY EXIST?

A few days ago, I was home and I turned on the TV. I didn't have a specific show on my mind, so I started to change the channels and I came across with nothing more and nothing less than an animated SCOOBY-DOO film, a classic of HANNA BARBERA. I must confess that all the cartoons that I watched as a kid were totally different from the ones we see on air today. In fact, many were full of positive messages and tried to teach certain values to children… others not so much… but that is material for another Post. Back to Scooby-Doo, I realized that the plot is the same in each episode and this movie was not different; Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby, they're driving (The Mystery Machine) on the road and get somewhere we don’t even know, they meet a character who tells them that something strange is happening in town and that they are being scared by a monster. Then, they willingly (without agreeing any payment, not even a STEEM DOLLAR) start to investigate what's happening. Then, they unravel the mystery little by little, through clues they find on the road and thanks to the skills of each (and of course the hunger and the clumsiness of Shaggy and Scooby), they manage to clarify the facts and solve the mystery. The End.

And precisely, after the "THE END" is where I want to take my opinion. When I say that they solved the mystery, I mean they discovered the monster and unmasked it before our eyes, to reveal that there is no such monster, but an intelligent human being, who has managed to scare those involved and that he has not reached his evil plans thanks to the stars of the show, as the villains in every episode kindly remind us. But, if we go into the background of the show, we can locate ourselves in an environment that is theoretically real. There is a group of people who suffer for some reason and there is someone bothering them and constantly bullying them, with some selfish plan and does not care about the consequences.

But who are these individuals? What do they really represent? And why do they do it? In my humble opinion, the villains represent flesh and blood human beings, with the mask that they constantly use to sneak into society and go unnoticed. I might be ruining your childhood or the way you see Scooby-Doo, but nothing further. My intention is that you see the perspective that they give us with a new pair of glasses.

In today's society, there are people who are considered good and not that good. Human beings capable of harm others, with the sole purpose of achieving personal individual goals. In most cases, these disturbed individuals speak, walk and even work with us, often anonymously. We only notice them, when they are the stars of some incident that makes them come out of their hiding place and makes them lose their mask accidentally. We must ask ourselves as individuals who are part of society, if we have any responsibility in the creation of these "supernatural beings" that often end up hurting people nearby and even small innocent animals that can not defend themselves. It seems that ignoring and excluding is not the solution, because just as we are all different, we all have strengths and weaknesses, but society chooses to ignore the second and give weight to stupid things, which in long term are not important. Thus, we have become superficial beings, completely forgetting that the interior is what will prevail.

Innocently, we do not want to believe that these things happen all the time. The Scooby-Doo show is nothing more than a metaphor for society itself and the way in which most people run away from their problems without facing them. And only a few help others to solve them. I am not making any excuses, but the so-called "monsters" have their reasons to be the way they are. My conclusion is that fantastic creatures do not exist and the real monsters are and will always be the human beings.

Thanks for taking a few minutes if your time to read my post. The truth is that I love writing and here I have found a way to express myself. Your opinion is very important to me, so if you want to tell me something, leave a comment.
