There’s something beautifully subversive about a man in a cardigan defeating cynicism with kindness. Mister Rogers didn’t just have a calling—he became it, stitch by gentle stitch. In a culture drunk on hustle and hypnotized by metrics, his life is a quiet revolution. A reminder that you don’t need to raise your voice if your presence speaks volumes.

As Virgin Monk Boy, I’ve spent years dodging fame like it’s gluten. But Fred? He baked love into television, served it with grace, and never once sold out for ratings. Now that’s enlightenment.

May we all be so wildly successful at staying soft in a world that demands hard edges.

I loved watching 'Mr. Roger's Neighborhood' as a kid. I miss seeing programing like that being on tv for kids today.
