These are the Key Takeaways from this episode:
1. Hate is a disease – it destroys both your enemy, and it destroys you too. This is a message from someone who experienced the atrocities of the holocaust. If anyone has the right to hate, it is him, but he is the one telling us not to hate. I don’t think he leaves us with a choice, we may as well just listen to him and wish away all feelings of hate in us.
2. Friendships are one of the ingredients for the secret sauce to a happy life, but you cannot buy friendship. So, let’s surround ourselves and keep our friendships. They are priceless.
3. What you give, you get back. You give nothing you get nothing back. Some of us have enough to give and many of us have the need to get. The reason why this lesson is more meaningful to me personally is that for 86 episodes of Sharing Life Lessons we shared knowledge, we gave, and we received words of wisdom from so many guests – but now it is time to walk our talk.
4. Finally, I quote Ed, he said, if you don’t learn from us – you will not have a future. What he really means is we must share knowledge and learn from each other. Especially learn from those who have had experiences, which is exactly what we are doing through Sharing Life Lessons. Living through and surviving the holocaust is an experience very few of us can claim we got close to.
We are one spirit, one soul, one world. It is time to walk our talk!
I will bring you the 90th and last episode of season 9 of Sharing Life Lessons next Wednesday. Until then, 'be happy, be safe and be blessed'.
