After teaching English in Quito, Ecuador for over a year I returned home to Nova Scotia, Canada determined to become more socially and politically active.
I have already campaigned for public office four times and plan to do so again soon.
"Know! You need to judge every person favorably, even someone who is completely wicked, you need to search and find any little bit of good. By finding in him a little good and judging him favorably you actually bring him over to the side of merit and you can return him in teshuva" (Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, LM 282)
Matthew 5:44
"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
