This is a mantra of freedom, not pessimism. It's a reminder that those in power want to push responsibility onto the rest of us, and if you're doing your best, that's totally enough.Â
Try to be a force for good. Tell your friends that you love them. The world will take care of itself. (Or not, but, you know, nothing you can do about it anyway.)
Mr. Men is series of books from the 1970s by Roger Hargreaves.
