More From Andy Griffith

One of the things that is wonderful about hymns is that they are a sort of universally shared poetry, at least among certain populations. there isn't much of that anymore either. there are very few poems people can recite, but there are quite a few hymns that, if you hum a few bars, people can at least come up with two verses. many of the older hymns are very beautiful.

You couldn't be more wrong," i said. "you are buying into the cross-stitched sentiments of your parents' throw pillows. you're arguing that the fragile, rare thing is beautiful simply because it is fragile and rare. but that's a lie, and you know it."

The past is dead, and has no resurrection; but the future is endowed with such a life, that it lives to us even in anticipation. the past is, in many things, the foe of mankind; the future is, in all things, our friend. in the past is no hope; the future is both hope and fruition. the past is the text-book of tyrants; the future is the bible of the free. those who are solely governed by the past stand like lot's wife, crystallized in the act of looking backward, and forever incapable of looking before.

Life is the future, not the past. the past can teach us, through experience, how to accomplish things in the future, comfort us with cherished memories, and provide the foundation of what has already been accomplished. but only the future holds life. to live in the past is to embrace what is dead. to live life to its fullest, each day must be created anew.

The torah is the foundational text for jewish law, but the haggadah is our book of living memory. we are not merely telling a story here. we are being called to a radical act of empathy. here we are, embarking on an ancient, perennial attempt to give human lives - our lives - dignity.

I think that were i in the middle of an obsession to write about, say, sudden oak death in california or my grandchildren or time and memory and how they look when you get to be in your sixties, and i thought, "well, yes but people are dying every day in baghdad," i wouldn't feel guilty about not writing about baghdad if i didn't have any good ideas about how to write about it.
