GAZA AND MY MENTAL HEALTH: Im feeling generally better, altho far from fully recovered from this latest crisis, and of course the crisis I speak of is not just the crisis in my personal life but the crisis/crime in Gaza which is enough to drive anybody to the point of despair. I have faith in my new doctor, and look forward to a FRESH START, and when Ive been feeling low the last several days the dips have not lasted as long. I CANNOT SEPARATE THE PERSONAL FROM THE POLITICAL, so I emphasize now: no matter how bad it gets, no matter how angry and bitter and hate-filled that the world becomes, LETS TREAT OURSELVES WELL, and that doesnt just mean treating ourselves internally well, but it means treating EACH OTHER well, treating our activist colleagues and friends with respect and honor. After all, if the warmakers have the guns and money, WE have the love, respect and decency to treat each person with respect, and that means treating each of our friends and activist colleagues with respect. Practice patience and tolerance and remember that often we ourselves dont feel too respectful. Forgive is too much a religious term for me, so lets say that we should practice efforts toward reconciliation. Treat each other well, and lets take care of each other. This is as about as close to a Reflection as I go. Please consider my suggestions seriously. Thanks! MIKE LEVINSON
