The Power of Being Present: An Interview with Fred Rogers’s Good Friend, Tim Madigan (52)

February 8, 2021 8:17 am

Mister Rogers has become a symbol of kindness, empathy, and understanding. Tim Madigan, who wrote I’m Proud of You: Life Lessons from My Friend Fred Rogers, says that the person on the TV screen was indeed the real Mister Rogers; and when he spoke to adults, Fred’s spirituality, depth, intellect, and almost superhuman ability to be attentive and honest was readily apparent.

In a world where polite discourse has too often devolved into shouting, and where those with whom we disagree are considered enemies, the messages offered by Fred Rogers are more important than ever. With that in mind, Scott spoke with Tim Madigan about his own experiences with Mister Rogers, and what we can all learn from him and from his example.

Noam party calls to reverse the government’s adoption of UN Resolution 1325 to have women more involved in matters of peace and security. In case you thought they were only homophobes - they’re also misogynists! https://twitter.com/noamparty/status/1377494819669479425

Really disappointing that @Ami_Magazine would celebrate the career of a man released from prison in 2017 after pleading guilty to bribery, attempted bribery, and obstruction of justice. The only references to prison discuss the rabbi's suffering and greatness. No contrition.

So unvaccinated people are like... Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland? (FTR - the tweeter is on the board of United States Holocaust Museum. h/t @LahavHarkov)
