“ I am afraid of people who are never embarrassed at their own pettiness, prejudices, envy and conceit...” These words of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel from his lecture/book “Who Is Man” are ringing in my soul and making me angry, reflective, and concerned. I am angry at a President who is NEVER embarrassed by his own actions nor the actions of those around him- who has made a career and fortune from extolling his own pettiness, prejudices, envy and conceit! I reflect on myself and see how embarrassed I have been when I have acted in these ways and vow to act these ways a lot less. I am concerned for all of us who are and are not embarrassed by these ways of being. For those who are, I hope you can see how you do it less each day. For those of you who are not embarrassed by these ways of being I am concerned for your souls and send you Divine Pathos, Divine concern to help you realize your errors and together we can move forward from this crisis and into a better state of beingness.
