Words To Live By
May 3rd, 2007 by owenamI have boycotted products that contributed to the hole in the ozone layer; written letters against the Japanese for hunting whales; called for an end to the poaching of Congolese gorillas; marched against the whites who controlled South Africa in the apartheid era; detested the Israeli killing of Palestinians; and despised Palestinian killing of Israelis. But I made the mistake of believing that condemning the misdeeds of others somehow made me virtuous.
(My emphasis)
I’m doubtful I’ll ever have the force of will to follow in his, and his family’s, ambitious footsteps, but I admire them for nudging the average in the right direction.
