Bodhisattva


"I like you just the way you are."

A model of male softness and sensitivity, Rogers cut a striking figure on and off television.

Fred Rogers was the opposite of macho. He showed no hint of physical brawn; his chin was weak, his muscles underdeveloped, and his face smooth. Nor was he aggressive. He talked softly and carried no stick; his spirit was gentle and tender, patient and trustworthy, and receptive and loving.


And he was beloved by millions.
