Answers
Explanation:
Dearest Anne,
If you were alive today around this birthday, you would have turned eighty-nine. Did you know you shared your birthday with my mother, who turns fifty-six today? And yet, you live on for years to come, forever at fourteen.
I keep wondering about how you would have perceived the world we live in today. Did you know that I first got acquainted with you when I was thirteen, the same age as you were when you wrote your diary? It was almost a decade ago, when my history teacher in school recommended the class to read to your diary before she started teaching us about the Nazis. At first, I had the least of expectations, knowing that you were just about my age at that time. But you left me in awe by the zest you carried for life, the wisdom you imparted through your words, at such a tender age!
One cannot imagine in this day and age, the sheer amount of courage which you portrayed, despite the horrific circumstances you had to experience. You carried within you, the wisdom of peace, which many of our world leaders today lack, despite having all the resources at hand.
“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” How beautiful the world would have been, if people could understand the truth in your words and imbibed the same. If only people started to think of all the beauty which still remains in the world, despite the misery.
“We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.” Your diary holds the answers, answers that you wrote with such clarity, at an age wisdom is not even considered a thing coveted. Your words fill my heart with hope and my mind with optimism, when people around me try to break my idealism, sometimes calling me naïve, or ignorant, as you said, “I feel the suffering of millions, yet if I look into the heavens, I think this will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.”
Today in your name and in pursuit of your ideals, which you have left behind in your diary, we must work for gender equality, peace and the end of hatred. There is no doubt, that these ideals have been put to test innumerable times, often at times crushed in the face of grim realities. Yet, I cling to them, as you have taught me to believe that in spite of everything, people are truly good at heart.
On your birthday, I hope that this letter reaches as many people as it can, and leaves them thinking. You continue to live forever in me through your words. Yours words soothe me by bringing hope. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.
Happy Birthday.
Yours
SAN
