'enlightened'...a Fictional Character List! :)

[SuperLuigi]

Ok, seeing as many of us have a couple of days off to reflect and spend some more time on personal development, I thought I’d start a fun discussion. Please bear in mind I am aware this is entirely subjective, it’s just for fun!

 

Who, in your opinion, is the most self-actualized (and / or has achieved the highest consciousness) fictional character?

Please be descriptive, (favourite quotes would be a bonus) don’t just mention names with no justification

 

My short list:

 

-          Master Splinter from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT)

A ‘Zen Master’, he always has words of wisdom for his students, maintains and ever-calm state of mind and presence, whilst living his life with the primary purpose of helping others. If I was a mutated turtle, I would want him as a mentor Favourite quote: ‘Anger clouds the mind, turn inward, it is an unconquerable enemy.’

 

-          Ezio Auditore from Assassin’s Creed (Video game)

Someone who  went through tremendous pain and suffering as a child, but instead of letting this turn him to the dark side, he used his life to try to rid the world of (his perception of) evil. Also, much like Leo, he and the creed accepted contradictions as a fact of life, this, they know as the ‘three ironies’:

·         The Assassins seek to promote peace, but commit murder.

·         The Assassins seek to open the minds of men, but require obedience to rules.

·         The Assassins seek to reveal the danger of blind faith, yet practice it themselves

 

I hope to hear some of you guys’ favourites!
