Keep Improving And Moving On

The TV show Gilmore Girls is a profound, thoughtful approach to this delicate and hot-button topic.  I really appreciate the fact that they also portray a sociopolitically conservative person, Lorelai's mother, as a whole complete human being.  Conservatives don't usually get this sort of respectful, insightful, thoughtful treatment on TV.

I also like the fact that they address a liberal situation and manage to be profound about it.  Yes, yes, this woman got pregnant and had a baby when she was a teenager.  Yes, that has been established.  They are not being all shocked and ohnoes it's controversy, it's a modern epidemic, it's happening only now.  Yes, it happened, it's already happened, it's in the past, get over it, move on.

I think this is a pretty cool juxtaposition they made in the show.  I guess this is a reflection of society as it is in modern day.

Let’s focus on the fact that the illegitimate child has grown and is now a young woman, a human being, who has aspirations and goals.


I notice that a lot of the pagan nature religions are a lot more respectful of the child-bearing process as well as female fertility as a concept in general, especially as compared and contrasted to the major monotheistic religions.  They acknowledge and appreciate the enormous amount of energy and dedication that a woman must contribute to growing a child within her belly.

This is an enormous undertaking, and pagans rightly showered women with the respect and admiration they truly deserve.  They greatly respected and revered women for continuing the human race, as rightly they should have.


I think it's pretty cool that they have the girl's best friend on the TV show be Chinese or Korean.  One of the far east Asian persuasions.  It's a fun and progressive and uplifting tidbit they added into the show.


Look, I get it.  People make mistakes.  People make huge indiscretions against common courtesy and common decency.

So they made mistakes in the past, but now it is time to move on.  Forgive and forget.  No reason to have this silly thing hanging over someone's head.  We get it, they had some episodes of bad judgment in the past___

They had bouts of self-mutilation such as piercings and tattoos in weird places, or cutting themselves or whatever, but it is time to move on.  Let us turn our attention to improving the future.
