   Being smart is not always wise.   
      
   I came to think that if I was more intelligent, they'd only get rid of me   
   sooner and in a more unpleasant and disgraceful way.   
      
   Being wise may mean keeping one's standards and values and keeping   
   his head on his shoulders under some dictator or tyrant, or oppressive   
   system with capital punishment for verbal delict.   
      
   Sometimes, however, very wise people could only emigrate or end up   
   in gulags or crematoriums.   
      
   It is not commonly said that the Jews were not the only victims of   
   the holocaust, but also the Poles and the Russians.   
      
   Sometimes their only crime was that they were born of the wrong   
   nationality or religion on a territory someone imagined to be their Lebensraum.   
      
   in the Lord
