“For instance “I can’t” is NOT in my dictionary. My mother a”h always taught us that you never know what you are capable of until you are challenged with it, so never say I can’t, try and see what you CAN accomplish.”
I think that’s a great attitude.
“Can you even imagine why this foolish UO vs MO controversy is so stupid and hurtful to me????? And probably to so many other second generation survivors? Women in the camps would give the men a whole precious potato not caring if they were chassidim, misnagdim, Frum or frei and here in the CR, some are forcing a debate between MO and UO and the moderators don’t shut it down. The Nazis YM experimented on twins, do you think they cared if they were MO or UO twins or what their philosophies were? Get over yourselves already!!!”
I’m sorry, but just because two people are debating hashkafos does not at all mean that they would ch”v not help each other if the need arouse. It is entirely possible to disagree, even vehemently disagree with somebody, and have absolutely no animosity towards them as a person. A disagreement is not necessarily a fight.
If Lomed Mkol Adam and Feif Un would have been together in the Holocaust, there is no doubt in my mind that they would have helped each other in any way possible. Having a Hashkafic argument with somebody in no way means that one’s Ahavas Yisroel is lacking.
