Ask yourself, 'Why did God create but one man?' the Reb said, wagging a finger. Why, if he meant for there to be faiths bickering with each other, didn't he create that from the start? He created trees, right? Not one tree, countless trees. Why not the same with man? Because we are all from that one man-and all from that one God. That's the message.

The Reb poses a thought-provoking question about the singular creation of man by God, emphasizing the absence of conflict that multiple creations could have fostered. Instead of allowing for countless humans from the beginning, God chose to create one man, leading to the notion that all of humanity shares a common origin. The implication is clear: our differences in faith and beliefs should encourage unity rather than division.

This perspective reinforces the idea that, regardless of faith, we are all interconnected through our shared lineage and divine source. Albom's message in "Have a Little Faith" encourages readers to reflect on their relationships with others, highlighting the importance of harmony among diverse beliefs derived from a single foundation. By recognizing this connection, we can foster a greater sense of community and understanding.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
