People Have Diverse Value…Look Deep
As a young boy, I was a fan of the 1960’s television show, Gomer Pyle USMC. I saw Gomer Pyle as a goofball who seemed to mess up nearly every task he was issued. He was a walking disaster area. However, somehow in the end everything always came out OK.
From 1964 thru 1969 it was filmed and set in California, it stars Jim Nabors as Gomer Pyle, a naïve but good-natured gas station attendant from the town of Mayberry, North Carolina, who enlists in the United States Marine Corps. Frank Sutton plays Gomer's high-octane, short-fused Gunnery Sergeant Vince Carter. Gomer Pyle was a "deep escapist" show; it avoided political commentary and offered viewers a distraction from the social changes of the 1960s. Despite being a military-themed show and airing during the peak of the Vietnam War, the show never discussed the war. Instead, the show was founded on "Gomer's innocent simplicity [and] Sergeant Carter's frustration and later concern for Gomer's well-being."
As I enjoyed watching the silly show, I never sought to know what the real Jim Nabors was really like. I assumed he was the same gangly misfit in adult life… I assume many others viewed him the same way. The episode titled “The Show Must Go On” aired, in which he sang “The Impossible Dream (The Quest)” in Washington, D.C., at the U. S. Navy relief show, accompanied by the Marine Corps Band was eye-opening. To see individuals beyond their “outer shell” and deeper than their surface image aides in the realization that people are more complex than what may be observed in a causal superficial relationship. If you want to know and appreciate others, then you must devote a little time & energy to get beyond your initial impression.
Have a nice day and a grand weekend…take care of yourself and others!
