Every time l get behind the wheel of my car l think about my grandfather who evaded being forced to fight in the army of whatever Austria-Hungarian country he was living in. Being drafted was a death sentence for Jews who were put up at the Front with little equipment.
Instead, each one of my grandparents fled to America more than one hundred years ago.
What has changed since then?
Apparently not as much as we thought: same useless battles with more sophisticated weapons.
Interestingly enough, we have progressed in so many remarkable ways, yet we can’t seem to shake the self-destruction gene.
When will recognize the concept that “no man is an island” and work towards unity and not factions that subvert universal respect for life?
