Thought For The Day:
When I read the words of Schopenhauer and Goethe and the
prose-poetry of Hesse, or listen to the music of Beethoven, Haydn and
Brahms, it seems inconceivable that the culture that gave rise to such
beauty also gave rise to the ugliness of Hitler, Himmler and Heydrich.
In this lies a lesson, I think, for all humanity. We are all,
individually, Guardians of civilization, and our watchwords must be
kindness, compassion, empathy---and vigilance.
