Entry 21

The other day one of my friends who is also an English teacher told me about a few questions she had asked her students so that they could practice their speaking English...
One of the questions was this: " Who is your hero? " ...
If I were supposed to answer this question, I would say , " My heroes are the artists: the ones who have created something to remain alive after them: the poets, artists, novelists, playwrights, directors, musicians, ... My heroes are all the martyrs, all the ones who have been brave enough to put themselves in danger to fight against cruelty , the ones who have endured great pains in prisons to protest against the injustice and defend the truth ..."
And ... now:
My heroes are the two Italian girls who have chosen to leave their comfort, their home and their loved ones and go to another country to help the poor , injured and oppressed small girls & boys ... : a country in which there is no comfort, no law , no kindness, no humanity , no love , no faith ... and the only things which exist are fighting, bloodshed, massacre, cruelty, aggression and violation ...
