Elie Wiesel...Hatred vs Indifference Chicago, 1993
"I have devoted much time to exploring indifference. And, again, I came to a
conclusion that the peril threatening humankind today is indifference, even more
than hatred.
There are more people who are indifferent than there are people who hate.
Hate is an action. Hate takes time. Hate takes energy and even demands
sacrifices.
Indifference is nothing. But indifference to hatred is encouraging hatred and is
justifying hatred. So, what we must do- I mean your peers and mine- is fight
indifference."

when we think of a­ncient paga­n kings, the ideas of justice and fairness probably aren't the first things to come to mind. we moderns may be more likely to imagine fickle, power-hungry despots who were ready to put someone to death on a whim. but king hammurabi, who ruled a prosperous and thriving babyloniaalmost four millennia ago, doesn't quite fit that mold. he claimed to have protect the weak from oppression, and scholars believe he fostered an atmosphere of justice and righteousness for his people.

this belief is based on an object that was discovered only a century ago. it has already earned a place alongside the rosetta stone as one of the most important artifacts of the ancient world. this stela (stone pillar) bears the inscription of the code of hammurabi, and it has shed light on the laws, culture and life in babylonia.
