ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!

For my entire life I have dreamt of a world founded on Good.
Good deeds, Good Language, Good Thoughts.
But I have found too few individuals that preach goodness, kindness, morals and ethics.

Newspapers, periodicals, magazines, all alike, have published their articles on negative stories. Stories of horrific car crashes, murders, accidents and abductions.
Stories of wars, fights and arguments.
Many of us start our day with a newspaper, and the first thing we expose ourselves to are pictures and stories of bad things.

These stories appeal to us in our society. We are drawn to negative things because it makes us feel little better inside. We say things like, "glad that wasn't me," or, "it's not my life." We hold our own life up next to the lives of these poeple and sigh a breath of relief.
"Our life isn't so bad compared to this guy."

But these feelings lead to believe that as long as we are not bad (or have not gotten caught being bad), we are good.
As long as we are not dead, we are alive.

But life is not about being not dead!! It is about living.
Striving to become better, growing each day in a life of constant testing.
We must be leaders in the attempt to make this world a better place.
We need to do more acts of kindness, more RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS!!!

So I am creating this blog to advertise that the world is not as bad as we may believe it is.
The world strives and hungers for people who do good, talk good and think good.
The world lives on the people that are alive.

I now bring you, the GOOD NEWS:

Sincerely,

Rabbi Yossi Berktin
