The wisdom of Charlie Brown

I've always loved the timeless "Peanuts" cartoons. I could never pinpoint why I liked the comic strip and its lovable characters. I just found it appealing.

Yesterday, I managed to catch A Boy Named Charlie Brown, and I realized that for me, watching Charlie Brown was like looking in a mirror. And, then it hit me.

I'm Charlie Brown.

Even though I've seen that movie - as well as the other "Peanuts" classics - a slew of times, it was the first time that I actually noticed how much I'm like Charlie. The bad luck, the cynicism, the sarcasm, the feelings of inadequacy.

I get it, Chuck. I really get it.
