The truth is…
If you can’t see a piece of yourself in all sides of humanity…
If you believe it’s “Us vs. Them”…
If you think you are better than someone else because of the choices you make…
If you think you are less than someone else because of the mistakes you’ve made…
If you live a perfect life in order to point your finger of blame at someone else…
You are fooling yourself.
Anything taken to the extreme is unhealthy… but we have all drank the same water in different ways on different days.
We have come to know Man as he really is. After all, man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who entered those gas chambers upright, with the Lord’s Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips. – HAROLD S. KUSHNER
