Commentary
Jan Jakielek of The Epoch Times recently conducted an in-depth interview with Robert Kennedy, Jr., and asked him in particular about the relationship between truth seeking and suffering. Kennedy recalled a moment from his childhood when his father gave him a book to read. It was “The Plague” by Albert Camus, published in 1947. I can see how and why the son was well prepared to deal with the torments of our times.
