Print · Read Online Small Things By Tzvi Freeman Great things are not what is demanded from our generation. The previous generations did all that for us. We need only do the small things—but in a more difficult time. For us, self-sacrifice could mean nothing more than a simple change of habit for the good, or a quiet act of restraint to avoid the ugly. In a maddening, rushed world, small battles make mighty victories. Try and you will see.
