"This is the duty of our generation as we enter the twenty-first century |
|
-- solidarity with the weak, the persecuted, the lonely, the sick, and those in despair. It is expressed by the desire to give a noble and humanizing meaning to a community in which all members will define themselves not by their own identity but by that of others." - Elie Wiesel
And for those of you who remember my mom, Sapphire Blue, this is one of the last things she said to my brothers and me:
"I know that you're going to miss me when I'm gone. Shed your tears, then open the door and look outside; there's a whole world that needs your attention, a whole world that needs fixing. Do whatever you can, in any way that you can, whenever you can. So many people need you desperately."
Please open the door.
