Chris Hedges is mostly known for his jeremiads. He points out evil, oppression and injustice. In this animated video, he talks about connecting with the human in others and how he was taught by those others. It is something I needed to watch in this age of demonization and violent escalation.

Stanley, that was a good video, thanks for sharing. Chris Hedges wasn't on my radar, but I see that he is associated with the Emir-Stein center. What I found on them was that it "...is an initiative committed to the promotion of empathy and understanding through cultural and religious literacy." We surely could use more empathy and understanding now, it is in perilously short supply.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for refugees everywhere, especially in war zones.
Hedges is one of Raber's faves.
ReplyDeleteStanley, thanks for sharing that. That was actually very synodal of Hedges!
