my heart goes out to you, i dont know what it is or why God has put the holocaust on my heart as strongly as he has, but i feel so helpless, like if i dont remind everyone of what happened, everyone that was tortured and murdered and lost their families will be forgotten. i have a very hard time understanding why God allowed this to happen. i just keep thinking what if that was me and my family. my daughter being stripped and abused and beaten, shaving her head. know so much about the holocaust has kept me humble that is for sure and thankful for my life. but why did they have to go through this, why did you have to go through this?

Strephon:
Courage led me to you.
And now many changes of heart
bring me back.
My dream world grows lively,
and I think of your time there.
All of your life you yearn for connection,
as do I.
When we find it, again and again,
you and I are fulfilled in our own ways.
Hank

Comment on Pay It Forward by Strephon Kaplan-Williams

I appreciate, William Piper, your sharing about your work and values with us here. It seems importatnt to have values and principles to live by that work in the reality of direct experience.

From your experience and insight, what would you say we do with the opposite when we have been hurt, stolen from and mistreated?

Or, how do we deal with the times we may be mistreated as we give to others?

Maybe the movie did not do so well with this in having the boy die of almost an accident with the young boys who used knives.

Revenge becomes “pay it forward” in a destructive way when we can or cannot find the real adversary who has directly wronged us. This theme is played out in certain movies and I expect in the criminal world.

I appeal to your experience as a martial arts person and a former policeman, among other things.

If you would like a bit of listing here where you can be reached, please feel free to give us the information to post.

I know from my own martial arts background some students are looking for the “inner person” behind the techniques, so as to develop their core selves and life perspective.
