"Night at the Museum" Mediation

Inspiration is everywhere. Looking forward to watch Robin Williams again in the movie, "Night at the Museum,"  we were amused to see mediation instances, too. The night watchman character of Ben Stiller had to pacify next door diorama characters of the Roman Emperor Octavius and Jed of the Wild West. Ben stole them both from their respective showrooms and put them together to settle their conflicting aggressive traits. They reminded me of apartment dwellers in dispute over their common parking, or market stall neighbors at odds with each other for just about any reason. In the end, the two war freaks worked together, putting their common nature to use for the good of everyone in the museum.

Robin William's character of US President Theodore Roosevelt likewise showed Ben Stiller the effective way of retrieving the museum keys from the mischievous monkey, Dexter- by courteously asking for them. Works most, if not all, of the time, which is also a lesson for people in authority/power like guards. Btw, in real life, Robin Williams and the monkey became real life friends after the movie.
