Steve Brizel, is this because more children are raised without a father now, or some other reason?

Yet, one wonders how the woman could participate in the revolution without the man and what hopeless place have the women found themselves where they seek to be more like the man just so that they can be seen of value.

Desperate people need compassion, kindness, and sincere gentle leading by people who love G-d.

First let me say that this article is quite profound in its message of the Bein Adam L’Chavero aspect if Teshuva and I fully agree with you. You are a role model of behavior in this regard and I believe that people should know that about you.

As to the above quote from Professor Erich Segal, I have heard Frum speakers pretty make pretty much the same criticsm of it as you have. But I reject this characterization of his famous line.

Properly understood, all Prof. Segal was trying to say is that if one truly loves another, one will never do anything that will give his or her loved one cause to apolgize for. It does not mean that saying “I’m sorry” is a bad thing. That quote does not at all say anything like that, I’m sure that Prof. Segal would agree that if one does indeed wrong another human being, then apoplgizing and seeking forgiveness is quite in order and the right thing to do.

The only criticism one might have with that quote is the unrealistic expectation…that in any truly close realtionship one would never have cause to apologize.

But in theory never having to say you’re sorry is a good goal. Becuase that means you have never ever done anything that would require an apology.
