QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you will help them become what they are capable of becoming.
- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
EXHORTATION
http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/sugihara
*** begin quote ***
Chiune Sugihara (Japanese: 杉原千畝, Sugihara Chiune; January 1, 1900 – July 31, 1986) was a Japanese diplomat who saved thousands of Jews during World War II while serving as the consul of the Empire of Japan to Lithuania. He was one of those who appeared to have no discernible motivation other than doing the right thing, and came to be known as the “Japanese Schindler.”
*** end quote ***
Wow, the things you learn as you get older.
Righteous Among the Nations
*** begin quote ***
Asked why he did it. Sugihara liked to give two reasons: one, that these refugees were human beings, and the other, that they simply needed help.
*** end quote ***
Stunning.
In that day and time, “helping” could get you killed. Clearly, his deeds were punished by the Japanese Foreign Ministry. And, at least he received some recognition before his death.
One can only wish that one has the moral courage to do the right thing in rough times. I can’t imagine the pressure he felt. Clearly, ordinary folks can rise to greatness in the moral dimension by just doing the right thing. He’s a example for me to follow. Although I hope my challenges are much much smaller.

Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.
