Thought for today:
"However tough the task seems to be, however high the problem to be scaled, together we shall succeed better than alone; together we are more likely to get there.
While there have no doubt been past occasions when the heroic actions of one acting alone has been to the overall benefit of the many, there are many more examples when the measured response and combined actions of the multitude have proved the most beneficial for all.
For example, while one lonely person blocking a line of fortified tanks in Tiananmen Square provided the free world with a powerful symbol of rebellion on the rise, it took an entire nation of Germans to physically break down the Berlin Wall, which for 28 years divided their peoples between communism and democracy and distanced even further, the east from the west.
So however strong we may be acting alone, the combined force and effect of the many will always prove greater." William Forde: February 19th, 2014.
