Inspiring Me

I am committed to a better life for all of us. The listing that follows points to a sampling of the people and resources that I have found useful or important in life and work.

The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either – but right through every human heart…even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains…an uprooted small corner of evil.

Thanks to ideology the twentieth century was fated to experience evildoing calculated on a scale in the millions.

Alas, all the evil of the twentieth century is possible everywhere on earth. Yet, I have not given up all hope that human beings and nations may be able, in spite of all, to learn from the experience of other people without having to go through it personally.

The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.

All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a singe word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.


Heroes

These people and their organizations make my life better. They can do the same for you.

I could go on and on. There is heroism all about us, the Bedouins and Jews who went into harms way to save Jews from the slaughter of Hamas, the elderly Palestinian woman on the news the other day (who would probably celebrate my death) decrying Hamas treatment putting her own life at risk.

The small business owners of Bridgeport who try to hold their community together in the face of disagreement everywhere.
