Today got off to a rough start. I’m starting to feel the effects of more activity than usual combined with less rest than usual.
These days seem to be getting longer and longer.
Tonight we got to hear from Alfred Tibor, a holocost survivor and sculptor. He is the one who made the rather large statue which sits in front of Trinity called, “Promise for Life.” He said some pretty amazing things last night but two of them really stuck with me. The first was that we should never tell anyone that we hate them because we really do not understand what hate is or how powerful it can be. The other thing that he said was that as a Hungarian, it was the Hungarians who were worst to him, not the Nazis. It really makes me thing about how easy it is for a group of people to become labeled and scapegoated. I wonder who history will show my generation as doing that to.
