After a few weeks of blogging about personal experiences and realizing that many of you may in fact be people who know me who read this blog and perhaps wonder "did he blog about me" or "was he out of his mind to write that?", I wish to discuss the content of the heresy and good fortune blog here.
I do realize that it may seem over the top to discuss somthing such as heresy and clearly, what gives any person a right to say what is or what is not such a horrible category. What I must tell you is that I do believe that these are serious topics that indeed I wish to bring to discussion. I have no intent to bring embarrassment or pain or suffering among anyone. To date, I have been careful to try to make sure that in most all situations, identifying information is not present. I meerly present these ideas as they are indeed topics of social unwellness or personal concern. I must say that I personally believe that this is a mitzvah and so I do my best to bring truth and understanding to the universe as I know it. I would imagine that we all want to be the best person that we can. I give ample opportunity for many to make amends with me or tschuvah as need be. I only write when I feel that the circumstances are beyond what is considered a reasonable amount of time to perhaps make restitution or when such an example is such an egregious violation of my own personal mores. We must all wish to improve ourselves and clearly in the Jewish tradition, this is by making what we call "return" or tschuvah. We are a society whereby we can atone for our misdeeds. As is the saying as well regarding the Jewish day of Atonement.... The day of atonement does not atone for transgressions of one person against another. It is not my intent to make this blog my own pecking board by which to exact 'revenge' or as aforementioned humiliate or embarrass a party whom I have known in my days. I took a fraternity oath to promote knowledge, advance culture and build character. It is with this mindset that I present the topics in Heresy and Good fortune. Indeed our fraternity believes in exacting harmony, extending a helping hand and extoling virture. This is also my aim. If the topics included in here are helpful to you, I hope that you will be thankful of my experiences and acumen in their discussion. If sadly, I may have caused you some tribulation, I can only apologize and hope that the content helps you find truth, temperance,tolerance, and tschuvah if need be in your life. I feel that I have been careful in all of the inclusions and I must tell you that in many cases, I have given it much consideration. That said, there is always the possibilty that I may choose to remove an entry at some time in the future. I wish no major acclaim for myself. I wish only to open the discussion of topics of truth, temperance and tolerance as well as pain and suffering that we may all experience in some form or another. I do belive that all persons, unless majorly maladapted wish to better their own character and personality. Being that we are all on a journey in life, please regard my commentary as only a portion of the journey that I may offer to help steer you in your personal journey. If my comments may in fact cause you unrest, feel free to contact me by email (cjbus2@gmail.com) and I would be happy to discuss. Your comments may or may not be included in the blog. I do hope that with the help of Ribbonu Shel Olam, Our Creator, I can hereby serve my readers, my country, my God and my fellow man.
