Fred Rogers, our friend and neighbor

6 жыл бұрынIt's been 50 years since "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" first went on the air - a television program for young children that treated them with respect, and helped them understand a complicated, often challenging world. Faith Salie looks back on the exceptional Fred Rogers, talking with his family and collaborators, and with filmmaker Morgan Neville, director of a new documentary, "Won't You Be My Neighbor."

Absolutely amazing. You could have plenty of people telling you they love you, and not meaning it. Or you could have had no one telling you that. But, when Mr Rogers says it to you, you know he means it. You never have to worry, or question the sincerity. You don’t have to be anxious about his love. Because he means it. That’s for damn sure. And that revelation has made my days of ignorantly blissful romantic youth much better in knowing that even if everyone’s love around me is fake- his is real. And that’s something to hold on to forever.

God Loves everyone and died for us all. He is not some made up idea or a thought or a wishing well. Mr. Rogers tried to be like Jesus. He quoted what Jesus spoke and lived the way Jesus taught. “It’s a Beautiful day in the neighborhood...won’t you be my neighbor.” In the Bible 1st John 4:7, and 8 it says ”Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” If you know God you will do what the scripture says, “Love one another.” I believe Mr. Rogers was speaking as an Oracle of God saying “I Love You.” The only reason it was genuine is because he knows that God loves him and never doubted. To everyone here...yes you are loved by me and above all by God. But I cannot love you with out knowing how much God loves me and yes He does love me very much.

I actually made a "Mister Rogers road trip" this past Saturday for my birthday. Went to the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum in Washington, PA where he visited in a 1984 episode. When the museum closed at the end of the day, I went to Unity Cemetery in Latrobe where Mister Rogers was laid to rest when he passed away and visited for a little while. I then went to Saxonburg and had dinner at the Hotel Saxonburg, where Mister Rogers visited in 1982 to show us what a restaurant was like. It was an awesome trip.

The vast loneliness of my childhood was punctuated each day by the song I knew by heart, the home I could have walked through with my eyes shut, and the man I knew was kind and gentle without ever having met in real life. I memorized every detail: the refrigerator, what was in the closet, the fabric of the curtains, the artwork in Picture Picture. This is both an indictment of my actual childhood and a profuse love for this show, to admit that I would have rather lived in his Neighborhood, and that one of the only good things I can remember is that I was allowed to watch this show. Thank you Mr. Rogers❤️. I cry as an adult, everytime I hear the closing song--I never wanted you to leave when I was a child and it came to that part of the show.

When I was 3 I lost my father... the only positive male model in my life was mr. Rogers. He was there every morning to tell me that he loved and cared about me. And when he died I had a dream. He was in a rocking chair under a tree. He had a audience of children we were all crying. He grabbed me put me on his lap and told me he was proud of me and will always be there when I'm sad and it's okay to be sad. But remember at the end of rainstorms there is a rainbow. I was 21 when he died. And he was such a big part of my life it was like I lost another father. To this day when I feel alone I put on a video of him telling me he loves me just the way I am and instantaneous I feel better. They don't make people like that anymore.

I used to watch a lot of " Mister Rogers Neighborhood, " in the seventies when I was a young boy. I enjoyed it for all kinds of reasons ( mainly for the trains and music ). After I got older, I didn't think much of Fred Rogers. That changed after the 911 attacks, where Rogers put out a video to help calm people ( manily kids ) down. That video made me reaize that Fred Rogers was the complete human being that we all long to have in our lives: Compasionate, professional and patient. Overall, he showed us all that we shouldn't forget these qualities as we go through our own journeys in life. A truly remarkable man.

Some people would say it is hard to believe that Mr. Rogers was really THAT good, that he had to have flaws. He did. It is evident just from listening to him that he probably dealt with a great deal of insecurity, and maybe inside he wasn't as comfortable in his own skin as the average person. But whatever his flaws, I think they drove him to be the man he was, and drove him to try and ease the insecurities of the children that he was probably very much more alike with than we could ever comprehend.

Grew up with Mr. Rogers. Had a way of explaining things to children that'd make them understand or help them with adult issues that could be confusing and way beyond their years. Like a gradual prep for the real world. World could use a large dose of him right about now.

I believe Fred Rogers message to all is to love universally. To care about others and the impact you make in their lives. It's so easy to let cynical thoughts control your mind and actions but harder to allow true love to be shared universally without judgement. We need to remember his message.

The cartoon is done with modern sensibilities in mind (good or bad) & the title character is the SON of the original, so Daniel Jr. won't exactly be like his shy, reserved "Stri-ped" father, as he's more outgoing & ready for adventure.

I had a good childhood. I didn’t need Mr. Rogers to fill in for something or to help me through something. I watched him because it was fun and my mother loved it and wanted me to watch it. As a child, i didn’t understand why she used to encourage me to watch it, but as an adult, I absolutely understand why. I taught littles (K-2) in public schools for six years and I truly believe that I was a better teacher from having watched Mr. Rogers. I didn’t realize it at the time, but Mr. Rogers was one of the people who helped shape the way I deal with young children to this day. I love you, Mr. Rogers. May you Rest In Peace.
