I'm a simple man. I see Mr Rogers and I start crying.

[bleunt]

Mr. Rogers speech always makes me tear up.

[Asanz]

God gave us Mr. Roger’s. God is good. Thank you Mr. Roger’s for bringing us light. It was an honor to watch your show as a child.

[shelbyjackson]

You know it's an excellent presentation when a 20+ minute video feels like 5 minutes and you don't want it to end.

[Pnstrp]

I joke about Mr Rogers, but jeez, that is an astounding speech. Only a few minutes and I felt him to be honest and real.
I need to do that. I'm going to learn that.

[krombopulos_michael]

Jesus, did anyone else start choking up during his speech to the senator? I don't know why, maybe it's because I remembered that he's dead now, but that really hit for some reason.

[FrankLightheart]

Mr. Rogers. We like you just the way YOU are too.

[josepharmstrong]

I used this method of communication in a D&D session and it was the most intense thing that happened in that session and I was able to persuade a sphinx to let us pass without any trouble. The DM was impressed and absolutely drained by the experience.

[professormoriarty]

The world would be a great place if filled with men like Mister Rogers.

[TheInfamousBertman]

Mister Rogers was a saint. The perfect human.

[arenelomax]

God this is so much easier said than done!

[schodes]

Hey everyone! First off, after going through all the comments in my last video, I'm almost certain I have the best fans in the world, so thank you guys. This video is my attempt at making arguing a bit healthier. It's been on my mind a lot recently, especially in today's political climate, so I needed to make a video about it. I'm super excited to read and respond to your comments. Much love, Will

[LikeStoriesofOld]

This was phenomenal! We need more people like you advocating empathy and sincerity and making videos like these that I genuinely believe can help make this world a better place. Keep shining that beautiful light!

[ednamafavuke]

I am speechless....I learnt a great thing for the first time in my entire 29years.

[Lghtweaver]

Mr. Rogers was, no doubt, the best of us. His passing was incredibly sad, but we should all strive to try to live in his example, at least a little bit (we can't all be saints all time) everyday.

This seems like a sentiment I would normally write ironically, but I'm not fucking around when it comes to Mr. Rogers. I honestly think he's the shining example all humans should work towards. If even a few of us are somewhat Rogers-esque every now and then, the world would be much better off.

[skeech]

Mister Rogers was one of the greatest men to grace this earth. An entire lifetime of limitless caring. I try my best but I can’t even hold a grain of salt to His pure compassion and understanding.

[Epiousios]

If every person had a tenth the compassion and understanding of that man, the world would be such a better place. He was truly something special.

[cool_catsmoove]

He speech was humble and his no pride in his speech. He was calm as still waters, his speech was clear. Communication is they key to get what you want without insulting someone.

[XxuplmxX]

If you really payed attention to the video you'll realize that Will was using ethos, pathos, and logos the entire time.

[tristemsaris]

Its amazing how years after his death he is still teaching us. I was watching a video some time ago talking about why Mr. Roger's message is needed now more then ever, and this right here is the lesson from him we as a society need right now.
