Although I am a Christian, I admit in greatest truth that I am a Christian by faith, a Muslim by culture. The only contact I have had to what might be called Jewish culture is through the Old Testament, which I am sure I do not pass the test in accepting, since a lot of what it preached pointed to a God made a real estate agent, biased in loving the chosen to be his own, and disowns all gentiles, i.e., most people of the world. Yet, I was brought up in a home that respected all religions without exception. Sadly, these human violations have been used to destroy societies in the world, used as arms worse than bullets and bombs to destroy the strength and fabric of countries for political reasons. In the narrative that follows, I wish to emphasize the importance of the second half in men's lives and the great love they deserve, bringing up children and sacrificing a lot for the happiness of their homes.
Women are priceless for building homes and societies.
To this end, their goodness must be reciprocated by grateful husbands and fathers. In the following narrative I wish to emphasize the importance of music in one's life, the importance of preparing oneself for retirement. With all this in mind, I also wish to thank Jerusalem Forum and their Internet site, Jerusalemites, for the chance given to me to tell my story.
