Funny everybody says stuff like this, i need a Doug in my life, I want a Ted Lasso in my life, but nobody tries to be like them.

Actually, quite an astute observation. You are totally correct. Everyone wants the benefits of having such a person in their lives but no one wants to try and become that kind of person for others. Selfish really.

That’s entirely untrue. Most people have a little bit of that in them already and it shows. Life is basically just everyone operating in morally grey areas half the time. Even Ted Lasso’s have selfish and myopic viewpoints. Nobody is just “this or that”.
