If you’re going to do it, do it right.

Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom. Ecclesiastes 9:10

I was just watching a cartoon with my boys. Some cartoons are just silly animated characters exchanging meaningless dialogue and flashing images that will keep a child engaged for 10 to 20 minutes. Not this one. This cartoon was fun, funny, smart, and had relevant social commentary woven throughout.

Similar to how Pixar throws in lines and ideas just for the parents, this cartoon was smartly-written, causing me to be less concerned about the screen time for my kids, and more curious as to whether or not the dialogue might be educational.

All that to say, if you’re going to do something, do it right. If you’re going to invest time and money, make the most of the opportunity. Do good, be excellent, spark joy, and stretch thinking. Why not? Every creative effort can make this world a more beautiful and better place.
