A person's traits, character, identity, and personality are a mix of distinct factors that combine to create him or her a person. It's a little bit of everything that makes me who I am today. It's not all about my upbringing, environment, or what I was born with, but it's a little bit of everything.
The decisions I made and the path I chose were largely influenced by the circumstances I found myself in.
From the time we were a little seed within our mother's womb, we have been deeply rooted within.
Every action, every emotion of a person has had an impact since then, and a new entity inside the womb has begun to establish its own personality. Later, on this planet's surface, it formed, moulded, and shifted from one attribute to the next, from one individual to the next, and from one group to many, influencing one another and leaving an impression.
Making a difference or leaving an impression, living with a purpose, a purpose that would save many or one...
Oskar Schindler... one of the men who is remembered to embrace and follow through the time line in which he found purpose even in the face of the worst humanity he served kindness... selflessly during the darkest time.
Only if we can do a fraction of what he achieved for humanity will we be able to make a difference.
(It's Hebrew, it's from the Talmud. It says, "Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire."
I could have got more out. I could have got more. I don't know. If I'd just... I could have got more.
Oskar, there are eleven hundred people who are alive because of you. Look at them.
If I'd made more money... I threw away so much money. You have no idea. If I'd just...
There will be generations because of what you did.
I didn't do enough!
You did so much.
[Schindler looks at his car]
This car. Goeth would have bought this car. Why did I keep the car? Ten people right there. Ten people. Ten more people.
[removing Nazi pin from lapel]
This pin. Two people. This is gold. Two more people. He would have given me two for it, at least one. One more person. A person, Stern. For this.
[sobbing]
I could have gotten one more person... and I didn't! And I... I didn't!)
