April 24 is Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day for Armenians throughout the world. It is also known as Armenian Martyr's Day and Armenian Remembrance Day. Pictured here is the Genocide Memorial (Tsitsernakaberd) in Armenia's capital city of Yerevan.
"All humanity is one undivided and indivisible family, and each one of us is responsible for the misdeeds of all the others. I cannot detach myself from the wickedest soul."
-Mahatma Gandhi
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere . . . Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
-Martin Luther King Jr.
Sobering thoughts. I was particularly affected by the end of the Gandhi quote, "I cannot detach myself from the wickedest soul." Reminds me of the quote that says, "if you're not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem." We each have to take personal responsibility for making things good.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an incredible monument. I'd love to visit someday.
