I imagine some may be familiar with David Foster Wallace’s “This Is Water” speech, delivered in 2005 at the commencement ceremony at Kenyon College in Ohio.

This film, an adaptation of an abridged version of the original audio, was recently created by a film-making team named “The Glossary.” In their words, Wallace’s speech was “without a doubt, some of the best life advice we’ve ever come across, and perhaps the most simple and elegant explanation of the real value of education.” Couldn’t have said it better myself.

I was so moved to see Marines with similar injuries visiting victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. I love the end — how many of us would have a sense of humor like that after going through what she did?

On this, the 70th anniversary of the most significant day in the the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, and in light of recent dramatic events in Boston, pause and imagine a world without hate.
