Day 25: Paulo Coelho's message

I decided last night to open a book called The Manual of the Warrior of Light by Paulo Coelho, with my eyes closed whilst thinking of people reading this blog, in order to find a relevant passage. This is the result:

Warriors of light never accept what is unacceptable.

‘“Hitler may have lost the war on the battlefield, but he ended up winning something too,” says Marek Halter, “because man in the twentieth century created the concentration camp and revived torture and taught his fellow men that it is possible to close their eyes to the misfortunes of others.”

Perhaps he is right: there are abandoned children, massacred civilians, innocent people imprisoned, lonely old people, drunks in the gutter, madmen in power.

But perhaps he isn’t right at all, for there are also warriors of light.

And warriors of light never accept what is unacceptable.’
