Parting is Such Sweet Sorrowby Phyllis Chesler http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/874/parting-is-such-sweet-sorrow
Excerpt: I am really moved by so many of your passionate words on my behalf. For those who wish to continue receiving my articles please write to me through my website and I will add you to my mailing list–if you are not already on it. You can also continue to read my work at my website http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/ What can one say about the times in which one lives? Everything must be said, and everyone must do the saying. While power corrupts, absolutely powerlessness corrupts absolutely. Thus, speaking truth to power is one way of asserting one's power, especially when evil seeks to devour us all. I, too, would have preferred to live a safe, charmed life, free of care, without being obliged to take unpopular and risky stands. We all would. But we no longer live in Paradise and our purpose here on earth is to do good deeds and to pursue justice. Often, telling the truth is controversial; peace can fly right out the window. Perhaps peace, truth, and justice may exist only in the next world. Read the complete original version of this item... Sweet Farewell, Part IIby Phyllis Chesler http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/873/sweet-farewell-part-ii
Excerpt: To My Dear and Faithful Readers: I am moved, humbled, comforted and uplifted by your comments in response to the news of my leaving Pajamas as a regular blogger. Thank you. This is the week in which the Stuxnet "worm" infiltrated 30,000 computers in Iran, including those which run several nuclear facilities there; the week in which the price of gold has soared; the day on which Israel has intercepted nine Jewish activists who sought to break the blockade of Gaza (truly, the blockade against arms, not anything else)–I thought we could take a short "tour" of some of my past work here, a mini-retrospective. I have arranged my choices in chronological order and hope that you find this reading refreshing, still timely. Today, I have selected articles from 2007 and 2008. On Thursday, I will probably choose articles from 2009 and 2010. As always, you can find me at my website www.phyllis-chesler.com Enjoy! Read the complete original version of this item... | |||||||||
