This first strip I find to be one of the most deep strips he ever wrote. All of it is pretty straight forward until the end where Calvin says "It's a lot more fun to blame things than to fix them." I feel like a lot of times this is exactly just what politics is. When there is a scapegoat to put the blame onto why bother fixing the problem? If we know who caused the problem, for some reason it is no longer our responsibility to fix it.
Concerning this comic I feel like what Hobbes says at the end really shines a bright light onto what our culture can be like today. Sometimes we just throw morals and the things that are put into place to keep us safe out the window just to do something faster, easier, or a little better.
This one is just hilarious and speaks for itself if you read into it.
This is the reason we need God, we do make messes and we have to try again, without His help we will never be cleaned up and have the strength to persevere.
Accept new challenges and except the fear that comes along with new challenges. Only a new experience or mindset allow us to grow. Now that I think about it probably one of the big reasons Steve Jobs and others like him have been able to come up with great things is because they want to grow and learn so they take on challenges.
I know I didn't say to much in this post, but that's because I wanted the genius of the words to speak instead of me. The fact that we can learn important things from comic strips is a pretty profound fact. We can learn from a lot of experiences and things we take in, just like Calvin's dad would say "It builds character," hopefully these things will help us to gain wisdom and understanding.
