The greatness of a nation may be determined by its ability to contain opposites and paradoxes. antithetical emotions, values, actions. Today, as the greatness of the monstrousity and the greatness of the loss becomes apparent to us, the amalgamation of this society is also visible.
I can write no more.
I often say I don’t write about Oct 7 because I don’t have the authority – that people who suffered on that day have much more that should be listened to. But today I found myself writing this on Facebook:
This day, October 7, we recall some of the horror stories from last year, terrible events that have left an indelible mark on civilization. So many of these horrible incidents could not have been comprehended while they were occuring, and their monstrous proportion still can not be seen in their entirety because the hostages are still missing. The entire civilized world needs to come together to end this terrible chapter of history.
i was pleased to have been sent this video in response to yesterday’s post. Douglas Murray really caught the mood of the country
And then I read the chapter of the week in the bible.

How often have I sat around with friends my age and complained about the next generation? How often have we worried about how they will manage to maintain normality when they do not have basic skills? Well it turns out that they have basic skills and more. They are overcoming amazing obstacles, especially our government. In every aspect of our lives right now it is the next generation that is winning this war. They are not only the fighters, the communicators, the chefs, the doctors, the healers, and all that. And they are doing it all with such dedication and originality, I can only admire them.
We are also losing them in the defence of our country. Each one a gem, fighting from love of their country, not hatred of their enemies.
I am humbled by every one I meet.
