A few weeks ago, I wrote about George Santayana’s quote “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it”. I suggested re-reading some of the literary classics that came out after World War II to remind us what lies ahead for countries that choose fascism over democracy. When I posted this piece to my Facebook page, as I sometimes do when the message seems important, I received a comment from my friend Sue. She said she would not read these books because she knows about the tragedies of war, and has “given up” on the world today because it is so “ugly and violent”.
well said Dorothy
Sounds like you may have read the book I'm currently reading "Humankind" by Rutger Bregman
It debunks the theory that humans are generally bad. There ate vast examples of humans reacting to crisis with KINDNESS and wexare innately good.
Keep stating the facts Dorothy
Thanks. Doreen. I haven't read that book, but will be in touch with GPL to request it.
