To Mrs. Paul Newman

Thanks to you and your husband I realize that someone cared all this time. I never saw you again in person after the wedding of a friend of yours in 1958 the same year that you two were married.. Your kind words when I was crying because your friend's wedding was cancelled by the priest.

You and your husband went with us to City Hall for the marriage. Your words "It'll be alright." "It'll work out." "Where's that smile?"

This was the only time we really talked. Thanks.

Realization

Posted on Sep 9, 2008 10:13 AM

I just finished reading 'Night' by Elie Wiesel and on page 110 he is told that in this place everyone is for himself, and that there is no such thing as father, brother, friend and that everyone lives and dies alone.

He believed it and wrote later on that he wished he hadn't, because maybe than his father would have lived.

Today, have we understood what went on in the second world war or are we repeating history.

Reading about the different religions, faiths they also express the aforementioned about salvation that it is an individual process, every person for him or herself.

The number one rule in the bible is: Love God, Love one another.

The Golden Rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated.

With the help of others we are able to endure and overcome challenges in life.

Reading two books that relate to each other. One was written about how a teenage boy saw and experienced one of history's worst dictator. The other talks about the end of days which is a constant topic of interest to many people these days.

Night - The author talks about his personal ordeal and the insight of how and what happened. He describes the peoples' reaction during every day life. It was hard for me to read the part about how cruel and desensitized Hitler's army was and knowing that some who followed his ideology are still the same, heartless.

End of Days - The author talks about history - past predictions, biblical, and that many people talk about and discuss what will happen and what has happened.

The similarities are:

1. People told of events that were happening in other areas and people didn't believe. Life went on as normal.

2. People had visions of what was happening. They were called mad.

3. People became police. Even though they had other occupations. They were the eyes and ears.

4. Those who were in the army of a country were replaced with look alikes to round up the targeted people. The process to keep order. The enemy within.

5. People believed in God and that was tested. Different religions, not just the jews. To see if their Savior would come and save them.

6. People believed the lie that they'd be working like the others and reality hit when they realized the stories they were told were true about how people were being eliminated.

Reading End of Days the author tells of many who believe we are in the End of Days experiencing some of the biblical prophecies. We are experiencing unusual weather patterns. The earth is vibrating more than usual and soon we'll experience the earthquakes in unusual places. What the earth will release could end millions of living creatures including man.

We are always talking about war and fighting constantly. Many events happening at the same time. Why aren't we all looking at why there is so much tremors around the ridges and the ring of fire? Do we have to experience the loss of an island of people before we believe. What is happening in the Pacific Ocean touches every nation.
