Dr. James Dobson wrote a book entitled "Emotions: Can You Trust Them?" and I was literally shocked to realize that we actually can have control over our emotions and not the other way around. No one had ever taught me that self-control was something that was necessary for healthy living. Unfortunately, today anything goes and any expression of emotion is acceptable. Self-control is not something to be desired...rather self-expression is the accepted way to deal with unpleasant emotions. Yeah, Mr. Rogers was very wise and I copied all his songs at one point...they have a lot of truth to them and he was a very great man. He was a blessing to all who watched his programs...
Well, in terms of education that boat sailed long ago to the detriment of society. When Mr. Rogers was on it almost seemed boring compared to the fast pace of Sesame Street, but that was all part of the programming to mess with the brain and lure kids to visual excitement, rather than the slower pace of reading a book or telling a story...it is a sad state of affairs with what it takes to interest kids nowadays...no wonder there is so much ADD, ADHD and hyperactivity...
When he used the term 'feelings', was he trying to reference tactile sensations, true feelings?
Or was he trying to reference emotions, confusing those with the term 'feelings'?
Feelings are tactile sensations, sometimes they are direct neurological inputs, but they are not emotions. It seems to me he must have been trying to reference emotions and used the misleading and false term 'feelings'.
People are wont to say 'I feel like', and that is nonsense, they mean 'I emote consideration for', because they do not actually feel anything. You feel the wind in your face, a boot in your hillary but you don't feel emotions.
One can not substitute emotions for considered opinion but that is exactly what most people try to do in arguments and debates.
Emotions are manageable, sure. We all emote roughly the same, but many people have weak minds and cannot comport themselves on a Good day, let alone under stress. People have to WANT to be in control, to be Responsible and many simply do not desire that level of autonomy.

In the video it is obvious that the sweet and healing engergy of his soul touches everybody in the room for the benefit of all.
It is so essential that kids are raised and educated by humans like him and it should be mandatory for being hired in such positions.

And then they had Pedo Hanks play him in that movie. What a mockery.
Total badass, served as a Army Ranger in WWII.

They will always be among us.
I think he was using the correct terminology...
