Line 1: {{trope}} [['''Stock Aesops]]''' are the morals that the writers and [[Executive Meddling\|producers]] of TV most often love to explore. They sometimes contradict each other, but it's a clumsy writer indeed who sticks [[Mind Screw\|two contradictory Aesops into the same script]]. [[Broken Aesop\|It happens, though.]] Many are [[Older Than Feudalism]]. And some, indeed, come straight from the original [[Aesop's Fables]]. {{examples}} * [[The Golden Rule]] - Do unto others as you would have done unto you. * [[All That Glitters]] is not gold. Line 24 ⟶ 23: A Man's Reach Should Exceed His Grasp. Reach For The Stars. [[Ambition Is Evil]] - Unfortunately, that also makes you '''evil'''. It's [[Lonely Atat the Top]] The Grass Is Always Greener On The Other Side - Learn To Appreciate What You Have A Bird in the Hand is Worth Two in the Bush. Line 64 ⟶ 63: [[Because Destiny Says So]] - Accept Your Destiny [[Screw Destiny]] - Shape Your Own Destiny [[There Are No Coincidences]] ~~-- Nothing~~—Nothing Happens By Chance; Everything Is Destined * On Differences [[Silly Reason for War\|Your differences are minuscule]], get along already! Line 88 ⟶ 87: Treat Girls The Same As Guys [[You Go, Girl!]] - Women are just as good as men. [[Closer to Earth]] - Women are totally awesome and possess unique wisdom men don't have. ** Recognize People's Differences * On Force: Line 117 ⟶ 116: ** First Impressions Are Misleading - You'd Better Second-Guess Yourself * On Justice: [[Freudian Excuse]]: Cut your arch enemy some ~~slack -- he~~slack—he had a rough childhood. [[Justice Will Prevail]] * On Kinship: Line 154 ⟶ 153: Love Is Not Sex (it's better when you [[Please Put Some Clothes On]]) [[Can't Have Sex Ever]] - Love is more important than sex ** [[Virginity Makes You Stupid]], [[Sex as Rite-Ofof-Passage]] -You aren't an adult until you've had sex. * On Specialization ** [[Master of None]] - You can do everything, but you can't do everything THAT well if you can't be the [[Jack of All Trades]] Line 172 ⟶ 171: * [[Christmas Special]] - It's better to give than to receive. * On Trust [[The Power of Trust]] - Trust makes people stronger [[Betrayal Tropes]] - Some people should not be trusted * On (un) Kindness: Line 180 ⟶ 179: [[The Farmer and the Viper]] Don't be kind to evil. [[Misery Builds Character]] - A little suffering is good for the soul. ** The best ''REAL'' magic is being kind and good to others! * On Literature: ** Actions Speak Louder Than Words.
