Reading One day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This (by Omar El Akkad) back to back with the memoir, Eine Mutter mit Sieben Kinder, (Helma Herrmann Schlicht) has been jarring. Human hypocrisy flames brighter and brighter as we struggle to make sense of headlines in the media. The power of propaganda has never been stronger. R. R. Douglas explored the hypocrisy in his 2012 text, Orderly and Humane, the Expulsion of the Germans after the Second World War. 80 years later the insanity rages on.
Be critical. Be aware. Knowledge is power, but don’t believe every headline streamed your way! And know that a child’s pain is universal. Our collective world peace and wellbeing depends on our efforts to be kind, to be curious and to be brave. (Nancy Drew). Our world’s children are crying and their pain fuels the world's future.
