Richard Eden first found success in his native Toronto, before setting his sights on the New York stage. He debuted at the Cherry Lane Theatre, playing Mr. Sloane in the Off-Broadway hit 'Entertaining Mr. Sloane'. Richard was a series regular on the NBC daytime drama 'Santa Barbara' and played Robocop in the series of the same name, which continues to enjoy world-wide syndication. |
When you cried last time and, if no secret, for what reason? Last week was moment for tears for me when I saw the resilience of some of the babies as they were rescued from the rubble in Haiti. We all must do what we can to help. A tragedy can happen anywhere and as humans we must be ONE.
There are some events during our life, when it seems as there is no way out. That could be tragic circumstances or such assessment of them. At that time, what's the thing to do? I believe there is no such thing as 'a no way out circumstance'. If one is trapped, perhaps, one might see it as a no way out. However, if a baby can survive in Haiti under a 7 point Richter scale earthquake then what could be worse? There's always a way OUT and there's always a solution. Believe that and the question dissolves into nothingness.
Could you please choose any event of last days, weeks or months, that has distressed you? It can be any happening on a local or international scale. How could you comment on it? Again, Haiti. Also the fact that health care meets such resistance in the US. Yes, I am aware of the costs and burden. Perhaps, Haiti will show other Americans, what it's like for those that are truly helpless versus lazy. Which seems to be the unspoken belief by those against it. Nevertheless, it will be what it will be. That is the right of a democracy. The majority rules. It doesn't mean it's right or wrong, it's simply the majority. There should be no such word as lack in America. America is more than capable in all things. Amen.
There's always a new danger watching for humanity in its way, always a new temptation we're ready succumb to. What's the danger of our days? And what's the way to avoid this trap? I don't like the question very much. Why not ask: I wonder what great opportunity awaits us? How can we be better than yesterday?
What are the main obstructions to apply humanities principles at our today's life? Could they be solved? Yes, humanity's problems can be solved. First overcome by believing that what matters for all is what matters and there is always a way and always a solution.
