Its a metaphor by Walt Disney,meaning that even Pluton,a god of the
underworld,wished to live on Earth's surfase,than in darkness
for the rest of his life.-

not quite. in fact Aristotle was against new "ideas" -Alexander's relationship with Persia and Persians-... but that´s another "history". humans have not change that much... only new toys.

Greek Archaeologist Says He Has Found Aristotle’s Tomb

By NIKI KITSANTONISMAY 26, 2016

ATHENS — A Greek archaeologist who has been leading a 20-year excavation in northern Greece said on Thursday that he believed he had unearthed the tomb of Aristotle.

In an address at a conference in Thessaloniki, Greece, commemorating the 2,400th anniversary of Aristotle’s birth, the archaeologist, Konstantinos Sismanidis, said he had “no proof but strong indications, as certain as one can be,” to support his claim.

The tomb was in a structure unearthed in the ancient village of Stagira, where Aristotle was born, about 40 miles east of Thessaloniki. According to Mr. Sismanidis, the structure was a monument erected in Aristotle’s honor after his death in 322 B.C.

If you're reading this...
Congratulations, you're alive.
If that's not something to smile about,
then I don't know what is.

Albert is very right.

Still very anthusiastic,including comfort and luxury,
living in an island for the last 12 years.
