Why I'm Vegan |
Have been vegan (not "plant-based"!) for 35 years because it's part of my way of life and worldview, not just a diet. It embodies respect for all life. |
More About Me |
Strive to live a simple, nonmaterialistic, meaningful, and purposeful life. Jewish ideals inform and guide in all aspects of life. These include honesty; ethical and moral behavior; respect for the sanctity of all life, which includes being veg*n; not hurting people's feelings or saying negative things about them; giving others the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to do the right thing; concern for the vulnerable and the disabled; and learning for the sake of learning, including from everyone! But good people with similar values come from many paths in life, the ultimate expression of which is being a mensch or, as Confucius termed it, a jūnzǐ (君子), someone who sets an example through his or her actions, which speak louder than words, and who thereby experiences true happiness and satisfaction in life. Enjoy hiking, being in nature, learning, artistic creativity, and dry humor (but not sarcasm). Introverted and sometimes lost in thought, but hopefully thoughtful in more ways than one! Look for ways to help others while avoiding self-serving feelings like validation and pride. Empathetic to the point that it can sometimes cause distress. Adventurous but also risk-averse. I live in the desert, which, it has been said, teaches humility, not only because we are dwarfed by the majestic mountains and the expansive valleys but also because we are humbled by the miraculous, mind-blowing adaptations that allow life in all its forms to not merely survive but thrive in the most challenging of environments. Nature can be our teacher and help us improve our character traits. Having stopped practicing clinical medicine almost 30 years ago when it was no longer possible to do so ethically in the current environment, I've written extensively about the disastrous medical system: those who are in it shouldn't be and those who should be aren't. The reason can be explained by the Chinese proverb 没有梧桐树,引不得凤凰来。"You can't attract the legendary phoenix without providing the Chinese parasol tree." Think of "phoenix" as a metaphor for a devoted, moral, compassionate, and altruistic person and "parasol tree" as a metaphor for a milieu in which decent people can function and flourish without feeling compromised. And now, for the final course, mon petit chou, my sweet, here is your fortune cookie: 笑口常开,青春常在。If you keep your mouth open in a smile, you will always be young at heart!

I'm Looking For |
Someone with shared values, good character traits, and a compatible way of life. Nos diffĂ©rences font notre richesse (Our differences will be our wealth). Just be yourself. A good relationship is one in which you are thinking about what you can do for the other person, not about what that person can do for you. An ideal relationship is one in which one party knows what the other is thinking without a word having been uttered. Love the Chinese proverb "The word 'forbearance' is a home's treasure" ("忍"字家中宝). As an only child, I learned to cope with being alone. But "[i]t is not good for a person to be alone" (Genesis 2:18). What I'm seeking, then, is companionship and more: interdependence, nearness, intimacy, oneness, and love. |
