Cartoon Philosophy

What is your favorite cartoon philosophy?

I'm talking about those deep insightful tidbits hidden inside kiddie cartoons, past or present.

One of my favorites is from Winnie the Pooh: "Piglet, why are you running nowhere so fast?"

I try to face the day like SpongeBob "I'm ready! I'm ready" even though I'm usually thinking "I hate getting out of bed, at all, ever, for anything!"

Samurai Jack teaches determination in the face of overwhelming odds (hmmm, sounds familiar).

Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends teaches that good-hearted, zany fun, and laughter will make most anything better.

and g.i.joe taught that good guys only fire blue lasers, and the bad guys only fire red lasers; also: no one ever gets hurt during skirmishes involving giant tanks, missles, fighter jets, or any of that other good stuff.

This one's easy.

"Hakuna Matata " It means no worries, for the rest of your days.

I could sing the whole damn song... and I do from time to time.

I love Bob the Builder's confidence: "Can we build it? Yes we can!"

Just substitute whatever you want for "build" for an upbeat rah-rah when needed.

Another good Lion King quote... Rafiki " It doesn't matter, it's in the past. "

I think we all need a good whap in the head from time to time. Look towards our future and stop worrying so much about all of the mistakes we've made, (to an extent).

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
