It’s a month early but this extract from Anne Frank’s diary fits in well here. We too must hold on to our ideals, and work and pray for cruelty to be ended. I feel sure that Anne would have enjoyed this scene from a free, peaceful, XXI Century Amsterdam!
July 15th 1944: “It’s utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death. I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness, I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too, I feel the suffering of millions.
And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too will end, that peace and tranquillity will return once more. In the meantime, I must hold on to my ideals. Perhaps the day will come when I’ll be able to realise them.”
