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
