We Are Different
„And at times we find that in some particular part a person or a generation will have a face of rest, and in another part a face of movement. And the leaders, who care for the good of the collective, must take to heart how to educate the generation in relation to each and every part on its own.”From Shemonah Kevatzim I, 61
A quick scroll through the feed is enough to notice the immense differences among us: in style, in character, in worldview, in expression, and more. This division exists in every group, in the family, and certainly in a nation and a society. The ability to contain these differences, and correspondingly to create a unique language for each one, is a life's mission for every educator and leader. In the many circles of our lives, we must open our eyes and listen to the nuances that will allow us to reach the other even when he is utterly different from us. This is the path to the repair of us all, as a society and as individuals.
