For us these sounds are solely connected to joy. To my parent’s generation, they could mean destruction and death.

Wouldn’t it be great if there could come a time where to every single person on earth “war” was only an abstract word?

Thank you, past 

I also had a moment of utter gratefulness to all those generations having lived and strived before me, making it possible for me to live in such good conditions.

Thank you, people of the past.

And a healthy, exciting, creative MMIIX 2008 to all of you.
