Business of LifeYour wife is murdered in a suicide bombing and with her your unborn child.
What is your response to such terror? Revenge, paralysis, depression come to my mind first.
But if you are Schmuel Greenbaum, whose 31 year old wife Shoshana was killed in the horrific Sbarro pizza bombing in Jerusalem in 2001, your personal response is KINDNESS.
Greenbaum started a non-profit organization, Partners in Kindness whose purpose is to inspire people to committing more acts of kindness in their lives.
I have in awe of people who can transform such an horrific act by an expanded and enlarged consciousness that creates good.
There is an weekly email distribution called "Kind Words" with stories of kindness that people have submitted. It has become for me a necessary antidote to the news, sad and terrible, I read each day.
