Nobody is perfect.
Russ is one of those few bona fide ,tactful,well educated,
diplomatic and wise men who blame no man and say all
the good they know of everybody.
He must have met some of his equals in Morocco who
reinforced his great human values appreciated by every civilized society.
Any fool can criticize ,find faults in everything and everybody,
and condemn, and most fools do.Butit takes character and self
control to be understanding and forgiving.
A friendly man like Happy Russ shows his gratitude by the way he
remembers his gracious hosts who treated him and his wife like VIP's
although they didn't know anything about them.
A grateful and positive man only remembers good memories and deletes the
bad ones from his thoughts.
Russ has a great philosophy of life , he should not be rebuked, he's
a role model to emulate.
If Russ has been antagonistic or unfriendly to his hosts
like D.P. suggests to him,readers would disregard his story and would treat
him in a disrepectful manner .
Thanx again Russ for your beautiful story that keeps warming the hearts and
souls of so many readers with your graciousness, forgivingness ,tolerance
and kindness to your fellow beings less fortunate than you .
" A great man shows his greatness " said carlyle,"by the way he treats
little men' "./.
You're cool, man!
