Someone brought up a subject I'd like to pursue.

From what I read, there is currently a wave of anti-semitism coursing through the world, evidenced primarily by attacks on synagogues. They're saying that it hasn't been this bad since during WWII.

I somewhat understand the causes. What with the current state of affairs in Palestine and Israel, fears and other emotions are high. Everyone is aware that, left alone, no one knows where this might go.

That said, I believe that hatred and its effects is so counter-productive that we - meaning the world- must explore its opposite. Surely there is something that we can do?

At this point, all I am able to do is to pray that myriads of angels descend upon the shoulders of those involved to whisper messages of wisdom and insight into their ears.

Wolfgang, I wonder if you might agree that when you are in a room or a crowd of people who are inflamed by negative rhetoric, you can feel the pulsing turbulence? Might you also agree that you can feel the serenity and acceptance of its opposite?

And, no - I haven't been drinking!
