'In my heart you are the mirthful ray
You are the caring, though my companions they
Happy is the world with the Noruz and with the Eid
You are both my Eid and my Noruz today'

شادند جهانيان به نوروز و به عيد
'عيد من و نوروز من امروز توئي

On the 1st Anniversary of the war in Ukraine, it is right first and foremost to express our sympathy to those wounded in or bereaved by War. We also give thanks for those who sacrificed or risked their lives for others and for those who labour for reconciliation amongst nations and peoples. Blessed are those who are peacemakers.
Nota bene
The Best Way to Honour the Victims of the War in Ukraine is: ‘To transform each one of us into builders of Peace.’- Europe for Peace
From time immemorial, humanity, it seems, has not learned an iota about the stupidity and absurdity of war and its horrors. War is nothing but a folly, lest we forget, again and again.

Remembering the Victims of All Wars

N.B. This is truly a beautiful, rewarding and inspiring survey, by the Guardian’s Saturday Magazine and published on Saturday 18 February 2023. A document on our humanity, life, and values. It gives simple but profound answers to who we are, why we are and what is the purpose of this journey we call life.Thank you Guardian for initiating this survey and thank you to all those who responded. I hope, somehow, this will be brought to the attention of all the young people the world over. This document is indeed a window on the University of Life.
