roofuskit,

Mr. Rogers. Besides all the usual Mr. Rogers stuff even after his death he had the most important lesson for me. Reading an article about him I learned that he kept detailed files on all his friends and acquaintances. He would use them to keep track of birthdays, kids names, etc… all the details that make you a good friend for remembering. To me it really humanizes Fred Rogers and shows that he wasn’t just some inhumanly perfect person. Being a good person was work for Fred Rogers just like it is work for the rest of us. What made him special was his choice to put so much effort into being good. I think that’s the greatest lesson he has for adults.
