Don't Listen to Lucy
Harding envisioned his life as being the equivalent to cartoonist Charles Shultz famous comic strip “Peanuts” with the hard-luck Harding playing the role of Charlie Brown and his discouraging band of “friends” for lack of a better word simultaneously joining together to play the role of Lucy. In Schultz’ strips and in Harding’s world, Lucy is depicted as an antagonist bully and the naysayer. Lucy was characterized as a bossy, manipulative and selfish girl.
She is constantly reminding the “blockheaded” Brown that he is a “failure” and she is the one who pulls the metaphoric football away from Charlie Brown right as he is about to kick it. Harding admits that his life has been littered with many “Lucys” spewing their venom and telling him he “cannot” do what he set out to do and that his goals and dreams were “impossible” and “unattainable”.
“Out of our greatest rejection comes our
greatest direction.”
