We have forgotten the lesson learned from the tragedies of the last century, the sacrifice of the millions who fell in two world wars…We grew sick with greed, we thought only of our own nations and their interests, we grew indifferent and caught up with our own concerns. We chose to ignore God, to be satisfied with our illusions, to grow arrogant and aggressive, to suppress innocent lives, and to stockpile weapons.” …
