Hah! This is hilarious. But George doesn’t imagine himself as a great force for good. I always saw ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ as being about a guy who is a fuck up and just blundering along but he has a nice life, and then, terrified his fuck ups have finally caught up to him, he considers suicide. But it turns out the individual is not so important. You are a nobody AND a fuck-up and it’s possibly OK because maybe you do little things that aren’t so significant but they can add up. Which is perhaps not true! But a good thing to believe if you are considering suicide.
