People ask me why do you write letters, read blogs ,
write your own, why bother, what motivates you? The short answer is, I care. I want to see a
World of mystery, beauty, splendor and riches all there ready for us to partake
in. What I see is a World of unabashed reality
of hatred, ugliness, poverty and dying on a scale, that after lessons of World War
II, we hoped we would never, ever see again. Fast forward and we see a wave of new
breed of fanaticism that spares no Christians, Jews, Muslims, man, woman or
child. In Hitler era a German Protestant Pastor Martin Niemöller in his iconic poem;
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade
Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there
was no one left to speak for me.
warned the World against apathy like the one that paved
way for a war that consumed millions of
lives. Now, silence is not an option.
