It's good that he's dead.

Ecclesiastes 7:2 (TLB) =  "It is better to spend your time at funerals than at festivals. For you are going to die, and it is a good thing to think about it while there is still time."

You gotta die if you want to get into the golden cube.

His legacy will ensure that he lives on in one form or another.

Do you ever think about what you post here, or do you simply drift in and out?

I actually met Mr. Wiesel as a teen when he spoke at my school; He made quite an impression.
I found to be him quite fascinating at a time when I thought pretty much everyone and everything was "stupid".

Eighty-seven's a good run...But, I'm still sorry to hear that he's gone.

Some find it difficult to stop it somewhere between their brain and their mouth.

RE: Elie Wiesel Dies
"Never shall I forget that night that first night in camp that turned my life into one long night.
Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky.
Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever,
Those moments that murdered my god and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes. Never."
-Elie Wiesel, Night

I read Night about 10 years ago, it sits on my bookshelf and I won't read it again as it gave me nightmares.

I wrote on Facebook today that he stuck his finger in the eye of the Nazis who wanted him dead by living a nice long life with a wife and children.

RIP Elie Wiesel.

The guy was 87 and he survived the "holocaust" so he was never in danger.  Sounds like he found the secret to having a long life.  Even Methuselah bit the dust after 969 years and there's no record that never did a fraction of what Elie did.

Job 21:23-26 (NLT) = 23 One person dies in prosperity,
    completely comfortable and secure,
24 the picture of good health,
    vigorous and fit.
25 Another person dies in bitter poverty,
    never having tasted the good life.
26 But both are buried in the same dust,
    both eaten by the same maggots.

“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.

“When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant."

You should try reading Night.
Also, your posts are gibberish and Methuselah didn't exist.

You know what "Night" and Methuselah have in common? They are both fairy tales. So if you believe in "Night" why not believe in Methuselah?
