Chief Rabbi Mirvis spoke on Thought for the Day (BBC Radio 4, 1/10/2014) about Yom Kippur or ‘Day of Atonement’ which this year falls on 4 October. His theme was that it is ‘doing’ which matters, not just good intentions or thoughts. And he said...

“The essence of a meaningful life is the pursuit of constructive positive deeds.”

“The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference between life and death.”

Eliezer “Elie” Wiesel KBE (b.1928; writer, political activist, 1986 Nobel Peace Prize and Holocaust survivor).
