Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames by Thich Nhat Hanh
Rather appropriately following on the heels of Xue's book about anger and having just been commenting in the "No Speak English ..." thread {http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96231}:
"The Man Who Broke Into Auschwitz" by Denis Avey
The foreword is by Sir Martin Gilbert {Churchill's biographer} and he has this to say which I find particularly resonant:
"This is a most important book, and a timely reminder of the dangers that face any society once intolerance and racism take hold"
I haven't finished yet but, considering that it is not deliberately written, as fiction is, to draw emotion from the reader, this book moves me between pity, horror and rage in various measures {and I am not afraid to admit to the occasional tear along the way too}.
Do NOT forget that this is what we can become if we let ourselves walk down that road that equates "the other" with "the lesser".
