One of my favorite writers, a man of great courage, a world-traveling Pole and an essential patriot, Adam Mickiewitz, once wrote: "If you want to judge me, don't be with me, but in me." I will add a quote from the Talmud: "Do not judge a person for his actions, unless you have been in his place." Both of these statements have been with me for decades. It makes me often doubt, consider. It forces me to try again and again to empathize with the thinking and reasoning of people, bearers of stories that have ever interested me. Whether it is a person who has committed a crime or, on the contrary, has shown bravery and responsibility at some point. i love life Also because it gives me the opportunity to meet people with unusual stories, write about them or make radio and TV documentaries.
