So here's a quick post, in hopes that we'll get just a little active down here.
In 8x06 on being asked by Dean if he doesn't feel screwed at all, Garth says, 'not me, Man. I let all of that stuff go by help of my Yogi, my second genesis.' or something. And that makes me bow down to the guy's awesomeness in my head. And I am not even kidding here.
The entire episode was lively what with Garth in it, trying to do something with the teachings Bobby had left him. I felt so much more involved in the episode due to 'balls' and 'idjit' ringing in my ears after so long. Not to forget, Dean had exceptional one-liners this time, even if in a straight-faced avatar. I really did like the episode. What let me down was that everything somehow unreasonably got Sam connected to Amelia. I won't jump on to conclusions, though.
ANYWAY.
Point is, Garth didn't begin to feel he needs to avenge over someone when he picks up the coin. He doesn't feel like anybody owes him anything. He's not frustrated, doesn't feel betrayed and has nothing against anybody, anywhere for doing things to him, whatsoever.
My question is, how many of us think we won't be affected under a similar paradigm? We're only human, and Yogi isn't our second genesis. So, we will get affected. Like Dean did. Because honestly it is near down impossible for human beings to not feel vindictive. And then things that characters like Garth have to say have this soothing effect on us. Personally I feel by means of Yogi or not, I'd like to pull off a Garth when I am older. 👍🏼
