Who are we.

I was glancing at obit's today, the better to know if one is still well, and an opening line caught my eye: "We celebrate the loss of a mensch. (mentsh)" Not a man of innumerable feats, or the world's greatest you fill in the blank, but a truly decent human being. And it struck me that over a life time of 70 or more years, how difficult it would be to consistently treat everyone and every situation with such selflessness that you would warrant the title of a truly decent human being. We should all be so fortunate!
