Sukkot of Glass

Eichmann in Tel Aviv

I think we are in a period where we are re-defining our fears.  Some things are new, more bells and whistles, some things are old and are now being re-worked before the grand opening on Broadway.

Using fear-defining stories that ignore the nobility of mankind makes the journey to Auschwitz a whole lot quicker.

Fear was re-defined after 9/11. How did that work out? A quick and unscientific poll of the dead will suffice.

Fear is part of the background intelligent processing; our conscious fears are part of the foreground - conscious. We have to put clothes on them, give them lines to speak, and sit back and watch the play. I hope that when we have finished re-defining our fears - writing books, drawing cartoons, and delivering speeches -  we will not find ourselves eventually in that place where there are glass Sukkot from Tel Aviv!
