The COVID Diaries – 41 8th May
Those inspiring words from Winston Churchill on VE Day 75 years ago captured the essence of what our nation had fought for.
So there is a heartbreaking irony that, 75 years on from the end of the war in Europe, that precious and hard fought for freedom has been suspended, at least for the time being.
We face the consequences of humankind’s loss of respect for creation and our failure to replenish the earth. Suddenly our technologically advanced, global society has been brought crashing back to earth.
As and when we emerge from the current crisis, lets us hope that we might rekindle the hope that existed 75 years ago. A hope that after a time of crisis and hardship, we might achieve something better: a society that values all people and lives at peace with itself.
