I’m in the middle of reading Night by Elie Wiesel and I can’t continue, and not just because of my almost watery eyes. Maybe later. Suddenly I feel so cold inside, so hollow. Even I can feel my heart beats faster when writing this.
It’s almost the same feelings when I watched The Pianist, Schindler’s List (I have watched it thrice and still left me void each time) and other similar movies, or read similar novels.
I think I was beginning to learn about this human tragedy when I watched the series of The Diary of Anne Frank starred by Melissa Gilbert when I was still in elementary school. Melissa Gilbert played Laura in The Little House on the Prairie and the character of Laura was like…my childhood hero.
In my childhood world, I had always thought Melissa was Laura and it was really like the set off to my growing up phase seeing Melissa played Anna in that series.
Things happened in Boznia-Herzogovenia, Haiti, Ethiopia, Iraq, Argentina, China… even Indonesia and all over the world, I am sure, have made Him sad. We are all His creatures, aren’t we?
So human beings are capable of doing evil things. Are they not? Some questions do not have their answers.
P.S. Have you smiled at your neighbour today, at least?
