Yours is a most astute analysis of the human condition. I extend my congratulations.
I refuse to concede that there is such a thing as "the Anne Frank syndrome". Leave Anne out of it, I say. She's in heaven with the angels. Don't drag her name into our current world situation. Young people still feel the need to be inspired by Anne's quiet heroism. Leave them their idealism, thank you.
Thank you very much!
There is plenty in the world to inspire us. We just need to look for it more often, and stop wallowing in the negative. We wont defeat savages by becoming savages ourselves.
I have to admit I am as guilty as anyone else in this, I suppose.
