It's hard to believe how history can repeat itself even more harshly. I never thought I'd see scenes from the movie 'The Pianist' come to life before my eyes, especially this scene. I've been trying to shake off the image from my mind all day, but I can't seem to.

i don't even have words...my heart...i can't even imagine how unbeliveably painful this must be.

Because the heart is no longer the way it used to be

[foursiralin]

وتخجل أن أضحك، تخاف تأكل أكلة هنيئة، إتخجل أن نخون حزنهم ولو بالراحة في النوم

And I am ashamed to even laugh, and afraid to eat and enjoy a good meal, and worried that I will be betraying their pain and tragedy, even through a good night's sleep.

“Death is no longer terrifying, this life is.”
