The values we care about the deepest, and the movements within society that support those values, command our love. when those things that we care about so deeply become endangered, we become enraged. and what a healthy thing that is! without it, we would never stand up and speak out for what we believe.

The Values We Care About The Deepest,

Fred Rogers
The values we care about the deepest, and the movements within society that support those values, command our love. when those things that we care about so deeply become endangered, we become enraged. and what a healthy thing that is! without it, we would never stand up and speak out for what we believe.

More From Fred Rogers

What's more important is that we talk about movements; change happens through movements. the movement to end slavery, the movement to bring justice for those who have been left out of the system, movements to include women, movements around sexual preference - all these movements brought about change.
Justice Important Movement
Ideally there should not be a men's movement but a gender transition movement; only the power of the women's movement necessitates the temporary corrective of a men's movement. and this creates a special challenge for men: there are few political movements filled with healthy people, yet few healthy changes have occurred without political movements.
Men People Political
Perhaps the most significant thing a person can know about himself is to understand his own system of values. almost every thing we do is a reflection of our own personal value system. what do we mean by values? our values are what we want out of life. no one is born with a set of values. except for our basic physiological needs such as air, water, and food, most of our values are acquired after birth.
Mean Reflection Air
The human longings that are deep inside of us never go away. they exist across cultures; they exist throughout life. when people were first made, our deepest longing was to know and be known. and after the fall, when we all got weird, it's still our deepest longing - but it's now also our deepest fear.
Fall People Going Away
There is a certain point of unity within the self, and between the self and its world, certain complicity and magnetic mating, a certain harmony, that conscious mind and will cannot direct. perhaps analysis and the separate mastery of each element are required before the instincts are ready to assume command, but only at first. command by instinct is swifter, subtler, deeper, more accurate, more in touch with reality than command by conscious mind. the discovery takes one's breath away.
Reality Discovery Self
It's been years, but i still say that i went out with the same progressive values and liberal ideals that i went in with. i made a couple of mistakes, i will honestly admit. in retrospect, there are a few votes i wish i could take back. but, through it all, i kept my support for organized labor, i kept my support for income equality, i kept my support for making sure that kids that come from poor families have access to education. so, yes, i still believe that you don't have to give up your ideals and go along. one person can still stand up and make a difference.

I personally believe that most people that play an instrument would be able to write a few songs here and there. but they say, "i tried, i can't do it" and give up and don't try it again; they get too discouraged.
Song Giving Up Believe
Revolution is the only thing, the only power, that ever worked out freedom for any people. the powers that have ruled long and learned to love ruling, will never give up that prerogative until they must, till they see the certainty of overthrow and destruction if they do not. to plant-to revolutionize-these are the twin stars that have ruled our pathway. what have we then to dread in the word revolution-we, the children of rebels!
Stars Children Giving Up
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. they then dwell in the house next door, and at any moment a flame may dart out and set fire to his own house. whenever we give up, leave behind, and forget too much, there is always the danger that the things we have neglected will return with added force.
Giving Up Passion Men
Sometimes i spend all day trying to count the leaves on a single tree... of course i have to give up, but by then i'm half crazy with the wonder of it--the abundance of the leaves, the quietness of the branches, the hopelessness of my effort. and i am in that delicious and important place, roaring with laughter, full of earth-praise.
