| Why I'm Vegan |
| I've been vegan (not "plant-based"!) for 35 years because it's part of my way of life and worldview, not just a diet. It elevates the act of eating from a base physical function to the realm of holiness. It embodies respect and reverence for all life. I became a vegetarian and then vegan because of my experience in the sphere of medicine. I saw the epidemic of unnecessary surgery and other procedures being perpetrated on unknowing patients, as well as the medical errors that resulted from negligence and not caring. I reasoned that it's okay to be out for ourselves but not when it comes at the expense of others. The repetitive, routine nature of eating allows a veg*n diet to serve as a constant reminder to respect everyone and everything with whom we come into contact. Thus, the veg*n lifestyle can help shape one into a better person vis-à-vis other people, nonhuman animals, and the environment, and it comes with a dividend — the health benefits. But wait! There's a sugar coating to it as well: 糖甜一口，心甜一生。"Sugar provides sweetness only while in your mouth, but a clear conscience makes your life sweet all the time." Here we see the difference between the transient pleasure resulting from immediate gratification and the deep, long-lasting inner happiness accruing from spiritual fulfillment and living a life of meaning and significance. |
| More About Me |
| Voilà! My profile: } I don't get no respect at all. I says to this cook, "Can you do vegan for me?" She says, "What kind of girl do you think I am?" I go to the vet's to buy some vegan puppy chow. She says, "Is it to go or will you eat it here?" (à la Rodney Dangerfield) Humor is so important because it engenders and represents hope, something we all need. And no one has ever died of laughter. Is that what's meant by "humoral immunity"? ;) Strive to live a simple, nonmaterialistic, meaningful, and purposeful life. I'm a Luddite at heart, reminiscing about the halcyon days when we weren't overdependent on technology. I embrace sechel, not artificial intelligence, and modesty, not social media. 不患莫己知，求为可知也。"Don't fret about not being well-known; instead, strive to be worthy of being known" (Analects, book 4, verse 14). Jewish ideals inform and guide in all aspects of life. These include honesty and evenhandedness, including not saying anything essentially true but meant to mislead (as in PR/marketing/media); 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; having a higher purpose in life, including work; and learning for the sake of learning, including from everyone! But 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 junzi, someone who sets an example through his or her actions, which speak louder than words. Enjoy hiking, being in nature, lizard-watching, learning, artistic creativity, and dry and waggish 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. Adventurous but also risk-averse. Love the natural environment in which I live, but the beauty of any place derives mainly from who's around you. Very willing to relocate. I stopped practicing clinical medicine 30 years ago when it was no longer possible to do so ethically. My magnum opus has been the definitive treatise on Jewish medicine, a moral philosophy and system of practice, free of self-interest, the cure for the present degenerate system. And now, for the final course, mon petit chou, my sweet, here is your fortune cookie: 好话不在多，几句成知己。"Good-hearted words need not be many; just a few can make a close friend." Headshot is from July, 2023. |

| It goes without saying, someone with shared values, a similar worldview, good character traits, and a compatible way of life. But "nos différences font notre richesse" (our differences will be our wealth). Just be yourself. "If I am I because I am I, and you are you because you are you, then I am I, and you are you. But if I am I because you are you, and you are you because I am I, then I am not I, and you are not you" (the Kotzker). I tend to jibe best with those who engage in rational thinking and respect educated opinion and legitimate authority — which doesn't preclude being nonconformist or thinking outside the box! Is your glass always half full? Maybe it's better to focus on the empty fraction. How so? Consider, as per the kabbalistic concept of tzimtzum (rhymes, roughly, with dim sum), limiting yourself and increasing the empty portion of your "glass," thereby giving others space to grow and to thrive. 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. The quintessential qualities that constitute the quiddity of a peaceful home (shalom bayit) are quietude, equanimity, and tranquility. The Q's have it! 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. |
