What the Talmud, Koran, and Bible tell us about seeking justice, dealing with adversity, and getting along

The Talmud, the Koran, and the Bible are three of the most important religious texts in the world, and they all have a lot to say about seeking justice, dealing with adversity, and getting along.


In the Talmud, we find the following teaching: "Justice is the foundation of the world." This teaching emphasizes the importance of justice in all aspects of life, from the personal to the societal. The Talmud also teaches that we should always strive to help those in need, and to stand up for what is right, even when it is difficult.


The Koran also teaches the importance of justice. In the Koran, we find the following verse: "And when you judge between people, judge with justice." This verse teaches us that we should always be fair and impartial when making judgments. The Koran also teaches that we should be merciful and compassionate, and that we should forgive those who have wronged us.


The Bible also teaches the importance of justice. In the Bible, we find the following verse: "He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God?" This verse teaches us that justice is a fundamental part of what it means to be human. The Bible also teaches that we should love mercy and walk humbly with God.


The One God of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity would tell us all to get along. He would tell us that we are all brothers and sisters, and that we should treat each other with respect and compassion. He would also tell us that we should work together to build a more just and peaceful world.


In conclusion, the Talmud, the Koran, and the Bible all teach us the importance of seeking justice, dealing with adversity, and getting along. The One God of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity would tell us all to get along and work together to build a more just and peaceful world.


On a hopeful note, I believe that we are all capable of living together in peace and harmony. We all share the same basic human needs and desires. We all want to be loved and respected. We all want to live in a safe and secure world. We all want to leave a better world for our children.


If we can focus on our commonalities rather than our differences, I believe that we can create a better world for all. We can create a world where everyone is treated with justice and compassion. We can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.


Let us all work together to make this world a better place.

chemo

Image
  The chemo cocktail churns, a metallic serpent coiling in my gut, its venom rising, a bitter tide. The sterile air, a canvas for the symphony of beeps, a haunting counterpoint to the hollowness inside. My reflection mocks from the steel embrace of the chair, a gaunt caricature, eyes hollowed, skin the hue of despair. Each breath a labored rasp, a dry leaf skittering on stone, as the serpent writhes, promising oblivion's unknown. Sleep, a fragile escape, crumbles into a twisted dream. A figure cloaked in midnight strides across the barren plains, his scythe a crescent moon, casting an inky sheen on the cracked and thirsty earth, mirroring my ravaged veins. The Grim Reaper, eyes smoldering embers in the gloom, a silent judge, his gaze a pronouncement of impending doom. His skeletal hand reaches, cold and sure, to claim my soul, but a spark of defiance flares, a flicker to regain control. I lunge, a frail wisp against the night's cold embrace, but the figure fades, leaving on...

My wife was only 32 when she died of metastatic breast cancer

Image
It was only 5 years after we found a lump in her breast.  She was a laboratory technologist in the hospital lab at the time and our medical insurance was good.  To give her the best chance, they gave her both chemotherapy and radiation to the area where the tumor had been found after surgery.  Our son was 1 1/2 years old at the time of the diagnosis and spent a lot of time at his grandmother's house during her treatments.  I went with her each time she received chemo and went through her nausea and vomiting with her after each course. In time they tattooed a tiny dot on her breast in order to guide the radiation to the right area and completed the radiation treatments.  She began recovering and within months had returned to her job at the lab. We both raised our son and went about our lives, hopeful. They did tests for tumor markers monthly without apparent return of the cancer.  One day, 5 years from the beginning she felt bad and was hospitalized. The tum...

Magic Carpet Ride

Image
 Let me take you on a magic carpet ride No silken carpet, stitched by hands unknown, But woven moonlight on a phoenix's down. With whispers of magic, we'll ascend the sky, Where stars like diamonds dance and planets sigh. Through emerald valleys, where dragons sleep, And crystal rivers secrets keep. On winds of laughter, past castles untold, With stories blooming, braver than gold. We'll chase shooting stars across the night, Their fiery whispers our guiding light. Past hidden waterfalls, where sirens sing, And wishes take flight on gossamer wing. No jeweled palace, but a moonlit bower, Where fireflies light each fragrant flower. With hearts entwined, beneath the Milky Way, We'll write our own love story, come what may. This magic we create, unseen, unheard, A tapestry woven with every shared word. So let us dance on stardust, wild and free, For the truest magic lies in you and me. With brushes dipped in dreams, we'll paint the sky, Our souls entwined, as colors dan...
