I recently watched a movie that I think touches on wisdom and
power to serve others . I believe it was titled ” Welcome to
Utopia ” or a similar title : It starred Robert Duvall, as a
retired golfer who chances to meet and heal a young , frustrated would-be champion golfer. Duvall’s character seems
to me to illustrate the saying ,” the fool who persists in his
folly shall become wise “. After finding his own way through
the vicissitudes of life , he is in a position to help others.
This helping is revealed in a concrete, sometimes humorous,and
touching way. If I’m wrong about the title, a search for movies starring Duvall should suffice to find this gem
of a quest for wisdom in the small town of Utopia , Texas
