The way I see it is that some times we need to be Walter, sometimes we need to be Donny, and sometimes we need to be the Dude. To me, if everyone acted like the Dude, nothing would ever get done. No one would farm, so no one would eat. No one would build, so no one would have shelter. If everyone acted like Walter, we'd just fight and argue. If everyone was Walter, we'd have unhealthy relationships with people from our past. If everyone acted like Donny, we'd have no idea what was going on. We'd be out there getting Lennon and Lenin mixed up, and we'd have to mediate and not truly be heard. Donny reminds us that our time on this dirt marble is finite and limited.The Dude couldn't have done any of the delivery by himself. Walter couldn't have done any of it himself. Donny couldn't have done it. But together, they did it. Also, we don't know the whole back story of the Big Lebowski. Yeah, he hates the "bums" of the world. But we don't know if he was ever a good guy. Maybe he was a good guy but got cynical over the years. We're assuming Maude is just weird and the Big Lebowski is the asshole. We just don't know, dudes. But he did have a good point about not letting the loss of his legs stop him in life. So in a way he did achieve. We're assuming he was cruel about it because of our preconceived notions of rich people. Or maybe it was a crazy movie with no real point.
