In Memory of the Fallen

We must never forget the people who gave their lives for the sake of freedom and democracy that you and I should be able to live free lives and be able to enjoy freedom of speech and all the other freedoms that democracy affords us. It is because of their sacrifices that we are free to say what we want, free to fulfil our potential, free to love whomsoever we wish, be it heterosexual or homosexual, and be free to pray as we please, or even not pray at all. We are all free to express ourselves as we so wish. All because these brave men and women were prepared to fight not only for the freedoms of their generation, but also for the freedoms of the generations to come. We must be sure never to be tempted to squander their legacy. They and their legacy must be honoured and respected. — © Mark Alexander

WE CAN DO BETTER / WIR KÖNNEN ES BESSER MACHEN / NOUS POUVONS FAIRE MIEUX

The world is full of unnecessary suffering and deaths. Let us at least try to understand each other better and minimise the suffering and tragic deaths. One death is one death too many! Can’t we do better than this? / Die Welt ist voller unnötigem Leid und Tod. Versuchen wir wenigstens, einander besser zu verstehen und das Leid und die tragischen Todesfälle zu minimieren. Ein Tod ist ein Tod zu viel! Können wir es nicht besser machen? / Le monde est rempli de souffrances et de morts inutiles. Essayons au moins de mieux nous comprendre et de minimiser les souffrances et les morts tragiques. Un décès est un décès de trop ! Ne pouvons-nous pas faire mieux que cela ? – © Mark Alexander
