There is an old saying "If one person says you're a donkey, you can laugh at them. If two people say you are a donkey, give it some serious thought. If three people tell you you are a donkey, go buy a saddle." This is especially true for persons in leadership. Often we get wrapped up in our visions for the future or ideas to resolve the problems of the present, that we never take stock of those around us who may see angles or consequences our ambitions blind us to. Please view the video from Rabbi Sacks who says more and does so more elegantly than I could ever hope to.
This blog is focused on American social (particularly teens, Jewish thought, Bisexual/LGBT concerns, social psychology) and political issues addressed from the standpoint of common sense, good science, positive/socially responsible faith, and tikkun olam (repairing the world). Honest criticism, caring comments, and loving rebukes are welcome. Capital letters, unnecessary vulgarity, and "flaming" are not. Enjoy!
