It was just the first time that I have heard of Anne Frank, especially her traumatic and tragic experiences, during the Nazi period, and I think that it is somehow synonymous to what our country had experienced from different colonies from different time, like the Spanish period, who ruled us for almost 300 years, then the Japanese era, where in my point of view, the most traumatic period for most of Filipinos, then the Americans, and also, during the martial law, where a dictator ruled in our beloved country.
Like most people, I am also aware of the evil deeds around me, since I was in my puberty period, I had seen violence from television, newspaper, and even right in front of my very eyes, and as I grew older, I became more aware that there are more evil deeds than stealing things, physical fighting and verbal agreement, I have seen worst as killing and murdering. What struck me most is the violence against women, young people and those who doesn’t have any strength and capability to retaliate, because they couldn’t defend themselves with stronger people, because some are physically weak, some are emotionally and mentally weak, and there are some who are financially weak.
Innocent people like Anne Frank are mostly the victims, because they are just living their own normal life, they wouldn’t want to harm and have enemies because they just want to live a simple normal life, but unfortunately, they are the ones who barely suffer from the hands of the villains. Anne Frank and his family lived a normal life back then, but they suffered under the hands of the merciless Nazi’s and ended up dead.
I’ve read that Anne Frank had her feelings on less fortunate people, in this, I somehow felt that we have the same feelings on those people, sometimes, I also think if those wealthy people living on this planet somehow felt or have any idea of what’s in a life of a person who literally have nothing, aside from his life? I don’t consider myself wealthy, but I am lucky, because there are millions out there who doesn’t have what I have, who couldn’t eat what I eat, and that made me felt sorry for being in a world where there are a lot of differences in many aspects.
As for my conclusion, I may not really known Anne Frank, I may not read the whole story in her diary, but she was able to amaze me and made me raised my hands for her, because as what I have understood, she still, was able to point out the beauty and happiness that this world possess, even during her time of sufferings, violence and merciless punishment, that alone inspired me a lot, to have another look in this world, amidst of evil deeds, to look and stays positive even the times of difficulties.
nice post!
