Hold My Hand

Ellie Wiesel

When I taught in the classroom, I could manage any behavior except indifference. A student who shrugged their shoulders when I asked if they had completed a project or did their homework gave my emotions a shock treatment. I could not tolerate indifference from my own children either. I wanted to see young people and old find passion for what they believed and to do their their best. Indifference is living on a flat line with no empathy or sympathy. No goals. No hope. So, because of this, I offer the above words from an introduction in a book I am reading called The Myth of Equality by Ken Wytsma. In my next blog I will summarize some of his messages on how we can grow together as one, not indifferently.
