BEHAVIOR CHOICESWhile we have no control over natural disasters, we do have control over our own actions. While others may make poor choices, even tragic ones, and while devastation may follow natural disaster, we have the power to step up and effect change.
1. Circumstances are beyond the control of human beings, But their behavior is in their hands. Disraeli, Contarini Fleming (1832) 2. Who is mighty? One who conquers his evil impulse. As it is written, Those who are slow to anger are better than the mighty, And those who rule over their spirit than those who conquer a city. Pirke Avot 4:1 3. You are not to hate your fellow in your heart; You must rebuke (reprimand, scold) your fellow, That you are not bear sin because of him or her! Leviticus 19:17 4. A person must bless God for evil, Just as one blesses God for the good. Mishnah B'rahot 9:5 |
