Mister Rogers
The World According to Mister Rogers sounds like a lot better one than this one. When reading this, it may seem like you are listening to a guy who is talking about a perfect world. But after having his words really sink in, its not like that at all. He is talking about a world full of nastiness and pain, but through his stories, songs, and anecdotes we are able to better understand how to engage this world. I never watched Mister Roger's show when I was a kid, but I don't think I would've taken his messages to heart as much as I do now. As much as he seems like a big cheese ball, his words take meaning in all of our lives.

This post is intriguing, Mr. Rogers life seems really interesting! I distinctly remember his sweaters and his show and now I may have to find out more about his actual life.
ReplyDeleteMy brothers and I used to ritually sit in front of the TV just waiting for Mr. Rogers to come on. He always tried to teach good morals and life lessons, some of which still largely apply to many viewers lives.
