Thank you Beth. Your words are sincerely appreciated. Most important we are all leaders when we do good for others. The last few years have revealed these traits in so many ‘ordinary’ people of which I count myself as one.

Stories such as these should be compulsory reading in high schools.

NO . taught in simple terms from KIndergarten then as a regiular part of the Primary HIgh School curriculum, and then in University Courses.

Hopefully, gthe wheel shall keep turning in the right direction then.

ANd all taught that ALL has been provided in this incredibly beautiful and incredibly complex Planet we call Earth and that does throw up the misfites and if VIGILANCE is maintained then it can stio the repeat pattern of History,

This is a wonderful opportunity to get the ship righted. TIhis a major wake up call to do so" and itt requires ALL human beings to "pitch in" in whatever ways they can do so. We ALL have talents.

Lets make this a sincere Sincere rmemberance for all those past and present who have given and suffered.

Thank you Ian!

A Poem (translated from German):

Everything begins with longing, there is always room in the heart for more, for more beautiful, for greater. This is people’s greatness and hardship: longing for silence and peace.

We could learn so much from animals ... they live in harmony with their environment! They don't try to change or manipulate it for their own convenience. Mother Nature knows how to heal!

That was a really great story ... as someone else said, should be taught beginning in primary schools!

This would be like a dream come true. I would love for the people flying those planes that are spraying chemicals all over OUR world to come together as one and abandon the whole evil practice. A calming panacea that you put into words would be even better. We have to remember it’s our world, it doesn’t belong to those lunatic psychopaths who think they own everything!

Thanks Prof. Brighthope, for caring so much! Even your name describes you!
