my thoughts on Spitzer

It is sad to see a person ruin his career and perhaps, his marriage. His wife is standing with him right now but I have no idea why.
But we should remember that the career a person picks says a lot about them. When a person decides to be a prosecutor one has to wonder why. Does he love putting people in jail? True. We need the rule of law. But do you want to be the executioner?
Politicians, prosecutors, we are dealing with people that are often in it for the spotlight and power. In those cases its not a surprise when they think they are above the law.
Of course there are others who are truly out to perform public service. Regarding them I do not speak.
Musar is an aspect of Judaism that speaks of character improvement. One of its main concepts is empathy. When I turn on the radio I hear just the opposite. I hear gloating over someones fall. In the end we are dealing with a sad story on many levels. (Think for a moment about his wife. What did she do wrong?) There is nothing to gloat about.
