- More about me
I am (still) trying to work out what I'll really do/be when I finally grow up. Worked in IT most of my life. Feel the need to work with people rather than things. I tried for quite a while to keep SULHAoz alive here in OZ, and am now active in other social justice and (re)conciliation issues and interfaith and intercultural issues.
I love drinking good espresso coffee, talking with people, playing with computers and, above all, being a devil's advocate... After all, I am genetically and neurotically Jewish. :-)
I have little patience for and with those who just talk the talk yet do not walk the walk.
- Promise to respect others and refrain from spamming?
- I'll do my best
Some uncommon common sense
Here are some relevant brief pearls that make sense to me:
- "Peace is not an ideology, it's a way of life." (Cofounder of SULHA, Gabriel MEYER)
- "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." (Margaret MEAD)
- "Blessed are the cracked, for they let in the light. (Spike MILLIGAN)
- "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." (Oscar WILDE)
- "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. (George SANTAYANA)
- "Never ascribe to malice that which may adequately be explained by incompetence." (Napoleon BONAPARTE)
- "When in doubt, tell the (whole) truth." (Mark TWAIN)
- "Text without context is pretext" (Dr. Eugene GARCIA)
