A
FIST TO THE HEART
On Yom Kippur each person is bidden to raise a fist in
protest against all that is wrong in the world...greed,
violence, pollution, and human-made miseries of every
imagine sort.
But, the fist of protest is not raised against the world
or any of its suffering inhabitants...be they themselves
good or evil. The fist of protest is raised in rage or
anguish, but ultimately is lowered to one's own heart
in the sad realization that no
amount of rage or self-righteousness will mend all that
needs mending unless the mending begins in one's own heart.
