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...

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.
