An idea that has to be forced down another’s throat is not a worthy idea. We have proven this time and again, yet we still insist on forcing ideas on those that do not agree with us. Why is this? Does it give us a feeling of personal power to change someone else to our […]
I was born in Boston Massachusetts. This pins several labels on me: Bostonian, Masshole (to some), American, Yankee, New Englander … to name a few. My mother was Jewish. This pins other labels on me: Jew, Zionist (to some) … plus some negative ones … yid, cheap skate, killer of Jesus … to name a few. I am anti […]
To me, it is the ultimate arrogance … or maybe self-delusion for any one human to believe that they single-handedly can change the course of humanity. For others to think the same of another, well … I am not sure if that is naiveté, wishful thinking, or simply and willful release of self-responsibility. It drives me insane when people lay the blame of everything […]
What do you do when you are angry with yourself? What do you do when you are angry with a family member? A close friend? When I was younger, I used to take any anger I felt on myself. If I did something that I was not proud of, or worse yet actually ashamed of, […]
I make no claim to be smarter than other people. I make no claim to be better than other people. I believe what I believe, but am always willing to hear a different point of view.

In one of them, which has people from all over the world, someone posted a picture of all the flags of the world, and asked people which flag was there. It was just an innocent question to find out […]
I generally don’t judge people. In my mind everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions, and I will respect their beliefs and opinions as long as they equally respect mine. I have no problem even discussing our differences, as long as we both are willing to hear the other side, and at least […]
“The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself“ -F.D.R. I am sitting her watching the news. I almost never watch the news. […]
PAX nation is devoted to bringing humanity back to its senses. Or for many maybe to find their senses for the first time. Most of the differences we perceive in each other are just that … perceptions. Everybody has the same basic drives, the same basic needs. It is not until we get the mind involved that […]
