Connectedness

Elie wiesel is the Nobel Peace Prize winning author of the book Night.

He witnessed the murders of his friends and family in the Nazi concentration camps, yet went on to talk about it from a survivor point of view.

Elie Wiesel once said that we are all connected by pain.
We are all connected. By love, by pain and sometimes by major events.

Each one of us travels a very specific and unique journey yet are all connected and in this connectedness there is life.

Nothing that I do ever proves me worthy, nothing that you do will ever prove that you are worthy. We are worthy simply because we are. - Charlie Gay

a landscape Of Sorts

On Specialized Knowledge -

"those who make this mistake do not understand the meaning of the word 'educate'. that word is derived from the Latin word 'educo', meaning to educe, to draw out, to develop from within. an educated man is not, necessarily, one who has an abundance of general or specialized knowledge. an educated man is one who has so developed the faculties of his mind that he may acquire anything he wants, or its equivalent, without violating the rights of others. ..."

so are the many many amusing little little knowledgable little things -

1. an amusing story teller of an astoundingly-hilariously subtlety-specific-story
2. a ???? consistantly bringing up glorious bygones and making highly audible promises of making-a-star-in-the-making
3. a yet-to-be-found-to-be-amusing effective and creative problem solver putting the i to shame
4. a lost/helpless/clueless or ???? who is seriously lost-in-translation in home ground and everyone's waiting to lose their patience
5. an unimposing all-imposing force unflaggingly feeding for i.m.p.ro.ve.ment
6. a smiley big balinese booming out of silence to whisper the need to say sorry whenever and wherever in the wrong
