On Looking for the Helpers
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers–so many caring people in this world.”

From The World According to Mister Rogers (Kindle Locations 645-647).Y

Because you are one of the helpers to many. And my helper, in particular….

Some of you were too old to be children when Mr. Rogers show was on television. When the show aired, I was not a little child but I wasn’t grown up either. He always used to look at the camera and say, “I like you, just the way you are”. The paradox is that when we are liked that way we are, this empowers us to change, to grow, to reach our full potential. When he reaches a young mind, it is more effective because young minds are often more malleable. Age sometimes leads to a hardening of the attitudes, er, I mean arteries. I can say this because I am 55.
