Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of being prepared for potential difficulties and challenges in life. Wisdom urges one to anticipate and plan for the worst-case scenarios, ensuring that one is ready to face them when they arise. On the other hand, foolishness dismisses the possibility of adversity, only to frantically deal with the consequences when they inevitably occur. It implies that taking the time to plan and prepare oneself leads to better outcomes and minimizes the negative impact of unexpected events.

I remember: it happened yesterday, or eternities ago. A young Jewish boy discovered the Kingdom of Night. I remember his bewilderment, I remember his anguish. It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed.I remember he asked his father: Can this be true?
