: ...is it me or does the world seem slightly less nice today? I know that sounds corny, but it's true. I grew up watching him every day. Ah well, he lead a long life that touched, entertained and educated millions of people. I can't think of a better legacy than that.
Yes, Fred Rogers left the world a much better place than he found it. He truly lived his life well.
"Sandalwood tagara,
lotus, and jasmine:
Among these scents,
The scent of virtue
is unsurpassed.
Next to nothing, this fragrance
-- sandalwood, tagara --
While the scent of the virtuous
wafts to the gods, supreme."
-- from the Dhammapada
