Dear Shylock.
I feel sorry for you now. It is not good for a person to be humiliated in the way you and your people have been treated through generations. I feel ashamed about Antonio's and the other Christians' behaviour towards you. You are right when you mention the slaves the Cristians have. Of course they should have given them their freedom back. Christians are not angels more than you are. But what good comes out of revenge? Revenge is a dangerous poison. Nelson Mandela and the black people in South Africa show us something important through their "Ubuntu" philosophy:"You can't exist as a human being in isolation. A person is a person through other persons. We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas we are connected and what we do affects the whole world. When we do well, it spreads out; it's for the whole humanity". If we all, both Jews, Christians and people from other religions, learn from the Zulu philosophy, I believe that the future would be brighter for the whole humanity.

This was interesting to read, Kari. And well written. I got really interested in your "Ubuntu" philosophy.
