Why Eddy is a model for me


The title of my blog post can seem strange, even provocative. I know, we do not often hear such wild ideas. But I am going to demonstrate the very hidden value of Eddy.

            Firstly, Eddy is very witty, as you may know. His sense of humour is a mark a sharp intelligence. You might think Eddy's jokes are a bit too thick ; I would answer that he cleverly disturbs you to point out society's taboo subjects. Eddy is thus participating in the improvement of the society by making it more aware of its difficulties.

            Secondly, Eddy is capable of self-mockery. The fact that he is able to joke about himself shows an incredibly modest nature. Plus, the fact that he does not take himself too seriously is a good sign : he deeply understands the ephemerality of life, and thus the imperative to act without fear.

            Thirdly, Eddy follows philosophical principles. Having read Malbranche's ideas according to which "a friend should never approve the errors of his friends", Eddy always reports me whenever I am haughty. I am grateful of Eddy's courage to dare indicate to me such behaviour that is mine : thanks to him I am more aware of my attitude and I can try to change it.

            So, now you can see that Eddy has a combination of wit, humility, and philosophy that is rarely seen in one character. To conclude, it is clear that Eddy's personality is a divine gift that we should all be grateful for.
