It’s A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood: A Look Back At Mr. Rogers

You Have To Keep Working On Love

One of the most amazing parts of Mr. Rogers’ life was that he didn’t walk around with rose colored glasses on. Instead, he wanted us to realize that we have to work hard at love, life, and happiness.

“Love isn’t a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like “struggle.” To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now,” he explained. That’s a lesson all of us can learn from as we grow older, with the people we fall in love with and care about.
