The Gospel of the Seuss.


I'm sure like myself many of you were raised on the genius works of Dr. Seuss. I think half of the moral fiber that went into making me into the girl I am was due to his genius. Every single story has a moral to it. If you read his books as many times as I have you too must feel that Dr. Seuss was an incredible guy. From Horton Hears a Who's message, "A person's a person, no matter how small," to I can read with my eyes shut, "The more that you read, The more things you will know. The more that you learn, The more places you’ll go." Who doesn't believe that equality and the drive to learn more are amazing morals? Nobody that's who! These are incredible rules to live by in my opinion.

If you ask me Dr. Seuss knows everything there is to know about everything. My all time favorite story by the great doctor is The Lorax. This is the greatest story ever written if you ask me. There is no greater message than spreading concern about the environment. "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."

That my friends is true wisdom. Nothing will get better unless we do something about it. If I ever have the opportunity to raise children one day I will most assuredly preach the gospel of the Seuss.

"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose."
- Oh the Places you will go!
