What was your favorite Take Away from the Show?

What is/was your favorite thing to take away from the show?

Examples: Was it one of the stated lessons like there's more than one way to study? Was it an Aesop not directly stated in the episode like while Fairy Tales shouldn't be done so literally, you can still learn something from them. Was it something that relates to you like Zephyr Breezes' fear of failure is to me? And many other examples.

It can be anything as long as you got something that was personally worth your while.

Actually can any of you Mods temporarily locked this until after the Final Episode airs or would it be okay to keep it open anyway?

Even with my reminder, some might be tempted to discuss Season 9 here.

@Will Guide I believe this thread is all good. So as long as others read your notice in the OP, there's no reason to lock it now.

My favorite take-away is that healing can come after a tragic death, giving hope that one can still smile.

My absolute favorite take-away were the characters themselves. Many of them fall in the typical cartoon character tropes but all of them have had significant character development since the beginning of the series.

Some lessons learned throughout the series were also great take-aways, such as when Applejack learned to accept help when she needed it (Applebuck Season/The Last Roundup), Fluttershy learning to be more assertive for the good of others and herself (Putting Your Hoof Down/It Ain't Easy Being Breezies), the CMC understanding their place in the world one step at a time (Crusaders of the Lost Mark/The Fault in Our Cutie Marks)...

I guess the biggest take away I can grab from the show is just the magic of friendship itself.

Context; most of the friends I made online back in the early 2000s have pretty much...grown apart, I guess you could say. For quite a few years I was pretty much on my own without friends. Even during my time on FurAffinity forums I never really made a permanent connection with anyone. I wasn't anti-social or anything, but for some reason...I just never made any friends. Even in the early years of the show I never really made the connection, but then I joined here and...wow.

There've been other lessons that really touched me through the run of the show (taking care of yourself, giving time to your wants, etc), but just the fact I have people whom I can call dear* friends means more to me than anything else.

*Yes, pun opportunity, but I passed cause FEELINGS!

Now that the show is officially over, perhaps people might share their favorite take away from this show?
