Who Wants to Be a Millionaire – The Story of Chris

By Ronit Baras | Published: November 3, 2008
Chris called and came to see me the next day. He parked his blue Mercedes Benz in the entrance and came in. He was at his early fifties, beautiful blue eyes, holding his diary tightly. “I wanted a Mercedes Benz so much", he said, "But now I feel uncomfortable driving it. I can get up in the morning whenever I want, I can have everything I want, I have money, I have Lisa, I am successful in my business but I am depressed and sad.” Do you ever think to yourself, "If only I had a million dollars, I could have everything I want"? Think again! What would you do with that much money?

Make This World a Better Place

By Ronit Baras | Published: October 27, 2008
It's looking around the world, at what is happening with starving people and violence, which makes me feel small and helpless sometimes. I can remember thinking about it ever since I was 15 years old, like Atlas, carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. I wrote poetry, listened to Joan Baez and wrote John Lennon's words of "Imagine" on my notebooks.
