A Few of Russert’s Lessons

I must post one more post on Russert, simply because after reading every article about the man in the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Politico, Huffington Post, and seen every TV special on the man in recent days on CNN, NBC, MSNBC, CSPAN, and other networks, I found that I liked the man more than I thought and that he truly exemplified American values. As Pat Buchanan said, “He was a man who loved where he came from.”
- Be humble
- Always ask people how their families are doing and actually care
- Love your family
- Filial piety is essential to life
- Joke with people and cheer them up
- Pick up your weak common man
- Give people breaks and help them out
- Remember people’s special occasions
- Give to people, remember others with gifts and acts of kindness
- Be there for your children
This is all common sense. This ecumenic wisdom of the ages can be found in sages as varied as Confucius and Christ (may God bless him and give him peace). But in the end we typically forget these things and often live me-centered lives. Kudos to Tim Russert for understanding the important in the postmodern age obsessed with vainglory and wealth.
