Response to the Holocost
December 28, 2008
Let us not hate those who plunder,
those who torture, rape, and murder.
Let us not despise
those who take away the lives
of the ones we love
and above
all hold
dear
Let us instead
remember these dead
and keep them alive;
in our hearts let them thrive.
Let us love, not hate,
and from this date
on, let us keep our loved ones
near

It was brought to my attention that this poem and the comment seem somewhat flippant. I did NOT intend that! In saying that getting angry over what happened is pointless, I did not mean that it was unimportant. We have every right to be angry about what happened, but letting that anger grow and consume us is what is pointless. We should love those who still live so that we can keep something like this, or worse, from happening again.
The purpose of the Holocost Museum is not to show us horrible things simply for the sake of it, but to show us that this side of man DOES exist. A reminder of the past, the present, and the future.
