I got a number of very thoughtful responses to the email I sent out last night, most of which I don’t have time to respond to right now. Thanks everyone for the encouragement, questions, criticism. Daniel’s response was particularly inspiring to me and deserves to be shared. The resistance of Israeli Jewish people to the occupation and the enormous risk taken by those refusing to serve in the Israeli military offers an example, especially for those of us living in the United States, of how to behave when you discover that atrocities are being commited in your name. Thank you. ↗
The potential for loss of soul--to one degree or another--is the affliction of a society that as a collective has lost its sense of the holy, of a culture that values everything else above the spiritual. We live in such a spiritually impoverished culture--and in such a time. Loss of soul, to one degree or another, is a constant teasing possibility. We are invited at every corner to hedge on the truth, indulge outselves, act as if our words and actions have no ultimate consequence, make an absolute of the material world, and treat the spiritual world as if it were some kind of frothy, angelic fantasy. In such a world the soul struggles for survival; in such a world a man can lose his own soul and have the whole culture support him, and in such a world, conversely, the light of a single, great soul that lives in integrity can truly illumine the world. ↗
Remember that when life becomes too much just go back to where you felt safe and take baby steps forward. ↗
Let fate decide the path you take Which winding road you follow Whatever you are wishing for Will be a new tomorrow Your destiny is what you are Your life is what you make it The opportunity is there Reach out your hand and take it. ↗
إنّها الثرثرة تخلق المشكلات , إنّه اللسان يثير النعرات , فلو كان للناس أن يلجموا ألسنتهم عن الكلام لما كان بينهم خصام ـــ فلألجم لساني ! وهكذا سكتّ عشرة أيام متتالية لا أنطق بكلمة إلّا إذا دعاني المعلم في الصف للكلام , فما لبثوا أن كفّوا عن محاولاتهم وتركوني وحدي في القوقعة التي خلقتها لنفسي من الصمت والسكينة ـــ ولقد كانت قوقعة دافئة هانئة فسيحة ـــ تمنّيت لو أعود إليها الآن فأبصر وأسمع وألمس جميع الأخيلة والهواجس والأفكار والأحلام التي كانت تعمّر بها انتهت مدّة الصمت, فرفعت اللجام عن لساني, وعدت سيرتي الأولى بين رفاقي ـــ من بعدها أخذت أشعر أنّني وإن انسجمت في الظاهر مع بيئة أنا فيها , ففي داخلي ما يجعلني أبداً غريباً عنها , وهذا الشعور بالغربة ما انفكّ ينشط ويزداد على مرّ السنين ـــ حتّى بتُّ أعيش في عالمين: عالم خلقته من نفسي لنفسي , وعالم خلقه الناس للناس ـــ والعالمان يتجاوران في حياتي ولكنّهما لا يتزاوجان ↗
Life is like a game, once your piece is on the board there is no leaving until you have finished. It does not matter how you finished just that you pass the line... ↗

To shut one's door while others suffer, to care only for one's own, disclaiming responsibility for humanity, is to destroy all good impulse and to build up a deadly selfishness which will be a boomerang in its effect upon ourselves. Let our own children see the opportunity now theirs for Americanism in the best and traditional sense. There was never a better hour than this to be an American." May 1940, Christian Herald. ↗
Honour, in the Republic, had never been a goal in itself, only a means to an infinite end. And what was true of her citizens, naturally, was also true of Rome herself. For the generation that had lived through the civil wars, this was the consolation history gave them. Out of calamity could come greatness. Out of dispossession could come the renewal of a civilised order. ↗
أنت مريض " باليوجينيا "..!! إن كل ما لديك في الحياة هم "36 يوم"... ماذا ستفعل ..؟؟ ستكمل قصتك مع " حنين " ..؟ ستقوم برحلة لـ " اطلانتس " ... أم ستفضل " مدينة الحب " ..؟ هل تذكر "نبوءة الفامفيدور" ؟ ماذا كانت تقول هذه النبوءة ؟ وهل تتحقق ؟ ستنتهي حياتك داخل "ثلاجة" .. الم اقل لك من قبل كم هي مرعبة الثلاجة ؟ !! إنها " المسرحية " ... مسرحية الحياة !! انظر لما أنت فيه من "مشهد رأسي" ... سترى ما كنت تجهله .. اعتبر كل ذلك "كان حلم" ... وتعلم سحر "النكرومانسي" ... علك تجد فى العالم الأخر حلاً لك .. ولكن .. لا تنسى أن هناك ...

A civilization can easily drown in what it knows as in what doesn't know. Consider,' he continued, Gotho's Folly. Gotho's curse was in being too aware - of everything. Every permutation, every potential. Enough to poison every scan he cast on the world. It availed him naught, and worse, he was aware of even that. ↗
