Undertstanding Differences

Once Bertram Russell told me what a wonderful man Gandhi was and said, “One thing about Gandhi drove me crazy.   He came to England and brought a goat with him and drank goat milk." My reply to him was, “I ‘m glad we had this conversation.   Now I can say what I am thinking.   I understand you very well because I’ve read all your works and,   curiously enough, I understand Gandhi too.   I understand the difference between goat’s milk and cow’s milk because I drink both.   You need a fellow like me to interpret Gandhi to you and you to Gandhi.”   -Rabbi Louis Finklestein Watch.
