Proof: South Park is wiser than you think
From the Wikipedia entry for the episode Raisins (S7 Ep14).
Butters starts to withdraw from life like Stan does. He goes outside and cries in the rain. Seeing Butters cry, the Goth kids invite him to join their clique. Butters replies “Yeah… And I’m sad! But at the same time I’m really happy that something can make me feel that sad… It’s like… It makes me feel alive, y’know? It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now, is if I felt somethin’ really good before, so I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I’m feelin’ is, like a beautiful sadness… I guess that sounds stupid… Besides, I’d rather be a crying little pussy than a faggy goth kid”. Stan agrees with Butters, saying one of Cartman’s famous lines, “Screw you guys, I’m going home.” He then leaves the Goth kids as well.
Well. I am home. I will leave for Bangalore in another day and a half…
