Good will triumph 4

"As is a tale so is life, not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters."  Seneca




None of us knows how long our lives will be, but we do know that it is GOODness that makes it worth living and unites us all.

But what models of goodness do we provide our children?

Who are their heroes?

Are they simply "famous" people?

Or are they GOOD people who can inspire our children to be GOOD too?


After the heart-wrenching tragedy of Newton, it was hard for any of us to believe in any goodness amidst such an agony of suffering.

"...like 9/11 Newton contained within it, the ongoing fact of revelation.   Both 9/11 and Newtown were marked by a revealing of the goodness of normal people which is seldom celebrated, but is central to the balance of the world.  When teachers tried to shield the children, it was a revelation of their goodness,   It is important, in part, because, by the light of the goodness of others -by that light, we can see ourselves”
