Mr. Rogers was the wisest of men. His advice on success is enteral.
Sadly, small, stupid people see kindness as a weakness. Being kind — in their minds — is soft and feeble.
But the truth is this;
A lack of kindness is a simple and effective means of identifying fragile egos.
Pathetic monsters.
Frightened little boys and girls trapped in adult bodies.
The bullies of the world have always been the smallest, saddest, most fragile human beings.
This truth is easier to see than ever before. Bullies are on the rise these days, ascending to the highest offices in the land.
But always remember that their racism, sexism, xenophobia, anti-intellectualism, and bigotry are manifestations of their frightened, quaking egos.
These are not strong, confident people. At their core, they are cowards.
They try desperately to look tough on the outside, but inside, they are Fabergé eggs, flailing about in an attempt to maintain their false front.
Kindness is courage.
Kindness will always be the path to ultimate success.
Fred Roger was right.
