So I take it that you’re carrying around a bumper sticker worth of an idea as your philosophy, Linus, and are just now realizing it! Because Charlie Brown’s is a perfectly good one!
Woodstock narrowly escapes suffocation after accidentally flying into Pig-Pen’s dust cloud, and he subsequently develops a phobia of the latter, lapsing into hysterics whenever Pig-Pen appears on the scene.
Frieda is compelled to straighten her hair after she loses a bet with Violet.
Spike mistakes a weather satellite for a U.F.O. and makes himself ready for an extraterrestrial invasion of Needles.
I think Charlie does have a very good philosophical aim. And in these days and times, one might just settle for one thing to look forward to and nothing to dread. I don’t think that will fit on a bumper sticker, Linus. But, Jesus’ great commandment would: Love One Another.

There is? Someone oughta tell that to the bumper sticker companies. Sure 90% of bumper stickers have nothig to do with philosophies, but if a philosphy can make big bucks, it’s gonna end up on bumper stickers. And T-shirts.

That’s a lot for a bumper sticker. For someone to be able to read it they’d have to be very close and might end up rear-ending you.

The difference between having a “Philosophy” and “Bumper sticker”? One goes on the back end of your car. The other, comes out your back end.

I look forward to heaven. I look forward to another day with my wife. I look forward to the day my wife retires. (She works because she wants to.)
Dreads? I dread becoming non compos mentis. I dread being a burden to my wife…

This is the power of Jesus’s saving work on the cross and his resurrection, for he defeated death and gave us nothing to dread.
