You ever watch M*A*S*H*?
Growing up, it was a pretty good substitute for parents.
I watched that show religiously!
Those guys taught me morals and work ethic, what jackasses your coworkers can be, and that dumb chicks talk in high voices. They were a wealth of guidance!
I think as a kid I was suppose to relate to RADAR, but I've always just been so very Hawkeye.
Lots of people think they're Hawkeye. He's the rage against the machine. The "Do not go gentle into that good night". He's the boat rocker. Lots of people feel a need to rage, not go gentle, or rock the boat. You should, but you need an anchor. Because as it turns out, Hawkeye was none of these and you shouldn't be either.
Hawkeye was forced into his situation and he was clear about his hate for it.
He was anti EVERYThing "the man" was about. So what did he do? Fight back? Retaliate? LEAVE?
Nope, he stuck.
He stuck around and made his truly bad situation the best he could.
He made it better for himself, but more importantly, he made it better for those around him.
Rocking the boat is fine. As long as you can RIGHT it again. Otherwise, you're just all wet.
So go ahead rage rage against the dying light, but just make sure you take care of those around you, ALRIGHT?
