My former “best friend” excoriated me for being sad that Mr Rogers died. This is one of the reasons why not friends any longer: he lacks human empathy.
Even if you don’t agree or understand why someone is sad, making fun of it is always a dick move. Within reason.
He truly was. I don’t know that anyone had more respect for children’s feelings and their capacity to understand, if only you talk to them at their own level.
Mr Rogers was a good man. I wish we had someone to continue what he wanted to children to learn. We really need more empathy.
If one had been just a tad bit older or the other just a tad bit younger, imagine a world where Mr Rogers married and procreated with Dolly Parton.
We need so many more Fred Rogers’s in this world
One of my all-time favorite Internet comments. Long but worth the read.
Thank you for posting this.
