The Eternal Wisdom Of Anne Frank

Posted: 2/10/2020

Today, the Epoch Times Morning Brief email contained following Words Of Wisdom feature at the top:

"In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." ANNE FRANK

I have to admit/confess that I never read the famous Anne Frank diaries. The full quote containing above excerpt is actually:

“It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart. It's utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death. I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness, I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too, I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more. In the meantime, I must hold on to my ideals. Perhaps the day will come when I'll be able to realize them!”

Some other, remarkable quotes:

1. “Is discord going to show itself while we are still fighting, is the Jew once again worth less than another? Oh, it is sad, very sad, that once more, for the umpteenth time, the old truth is confirmed: "What one Christian does is his own responsibility, what one Jew does is thrown back at all Jews."”
2. “I've found that there is always some beauty left — in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you. Look at these things, then you find yourself again, and God, and then you regain your balance. A person who's happy will make others happy; a person who has courage and faith will never die in misery!”

We owe so much to this young, wise beyond belief teenager who was murdered in the Holocaust! Her resolute faith in God is truly an inspiration!

Last, but not least: We should always be thankful to and remember the handful of very brave Dutch people, who were hiding Anne Frank, her family and other Jews. “Victor Kugler, Johannes Kleiman, Miep Gies, and Bep Voskuijl were the only employees who knew of the people in hiding.”These heroes became Righteous Among The Nations!
