Unfortunately, a whole generation of those who have had this type of experience are sadly passing-away, leaving us with little to no voices to remind us of this reality. We need to always be mindful that in this post-modern age of increasing disconnectedness and isolation (ironicaly, in a more-connected and wired-in information age of global internet communications) we need to retain our empathy for our neighbor and remember that not only logic and reason will prevail, but charity and the ability to stay connected in community and in communion with one-another in our real-life communities. This, I feel, is what will keep us in a truer sense of humanity.SacraMentalPatienthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018056529843941394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37831709.post-61625423458419605012007-04-17T13:03:00.001-04:002007-04-17T13:03:00.001-04:00We had a vigil on my campus today for all who were...We had a vigil on my campus today for all who were involved in the shootings. I thought that was interesting that the teacher survived the holocaust and then cared enough about his students to help them get out of harms way. I find it moving that in this crazy world we are in today that even in terrible times there are people out there for the good!Linnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05405115935272870774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37831709.post-62692488978485159122007-04-17T13:03:00.000-04:002007-04-17T13:03:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Linnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05405115935272870774noreply@blogger.com
