What you would use to extinguish a stake? Water or more fire?
Thus, it is only love that can extinguish hatred.

Lest we forget… January 27, 1945
Posted by Sensei on January 27th, 2012
67 years ago, the Russian soldiers opened the gates of hell in which they were thrown and horribly killed innocent children, women, elderly, in few words, millions innocent souls.
The monster of Nazi-fascism and of “racial” exterminations was born from the disgusting embrace of profound ignorance and fierce hatred, and prospered powered by millions of eyes, minds and hearts of cold indifference.
Indifference and inaction to horrors is the worst horror.
Lest we forget. Never.

“Ogni tempo ha il suo fascismo. A questo si arriva in molti modi, non necessariamente col terrore dell’intimidazione poliziesca, ma anche negando e distorcendo l’informazione, inquinando la giustizia, paralizzando la scuola, diffondendo in molti sottili modi la nostalgia per un mondo in cui regnava sovrano l’ordine.” (Primo Levi)

“Apprendere che nella battaglia della vita si può facilmente vincere l’odio con l’amore, la menzogna con la verità, la violenza con l’abnegazione dovrebbe essere un elemento fondamentale nell’educazione di un bambino.” (Gandhi)
