How Does A Person Become A Killer

work of Van Gogh

The music is beautiful. From the cradle of the times we (the Jews) we tried a new way of speaking. We often take the blame for the treatment received during a horrendous misunderstanding of history. (Words mean what ever we want it to mean.) If we communicate with something like the music will never be misunderstood, because in music there is nothing to understand.
This was the origin of the chant the Torah and probably Yiddish - the language most of all onomatopoeic.
It 's also the reason why most of our elderly people, particularly survivors of a pogrom, hum so often, indeed, apparently never cease to sing, as they are determined to prevent the arrival of silence or any linguistic meaning.
But until we find this new way of speaking, until we find this new way of speaking, until we find a vocabulary does not approximate the nonsense words are the best thing we have.
