Judging from the amount of sniffling in the theater where I saw this film, many in the audience were also thinking of their own mothers, fathers, siblings, friends. Rogers’s point in the commencement speeches was made anew: we are all familiar with the phenomenon of selfless care from at least some part of our lives. This phenomenon is no exception; it is at the core of what defines the human experience.
I think that maybe im biased because im at a point in my life where everyone is thinking about those who raised them, but this is the part that confused me about her previous point. Everyone loves their parents! (sort-of)
