The two kinds of people who exist in this world [at any one time] are the decent and the indecent. Color, religion and nationality are irrelevant. Kindness, decency and behavior are what matters most. Our collective challenge, it seems, is to create a city and community where decent people of all races, ethnicities and religions can look into the faces of other decent people and see only one thing — God’s image smiling back — Rabbi Micah Greenstein

Last night I watched the new Bill Moyers series. This one had Martin Amis and Margaret Atwood as guests. I was interested in hearing Margaret Atwood talking about faith and myths and she did not disappoint. Martin Amis succeeded in driving home to me just how confusing living in the world is today, but did present an interesting take on how today’s terrorism fits into history and current events, and how people are drawn into it. I was still left confused and bewildered by a world that can hold such a thing. You can go and listen for yourself.
