In reply to the discussion: My christmas gift this year [View all]MannyGoldstein
(34,589 posts)73. The Good News
A true allegory.
We are told that, two millenia ago, a person was born who changed humankind's hearts for the better. Yes, terrible things are often done in his name, perversions of his words -- but the philosophy remains, available to all who open themselves to it.
Your heart has always been big, my dear Diclotican. But this Christmas season, it became even a little more open. Let's hope that all of our hearts follow, that all the world's people become warmer in our embrace of one-another this year.
(Preferably without the need for a hospital stay.)
Congratulations, and best wishes for a speedy recovery,
- Manny

He just got out of the hospital. Maybe he can start with lefsa and work his way to lutefisk.
