On Legacies

Thursday, November 17th, 2005 | Posted in: Commentary, Thoughts & Observations

Conscious of it or not, we all leave a legacy in our tracks. Some of us aspire to having our names or achievements widely recognised, while some die or disappear in anonymity. We don’t all need to be Mother Teresa, but we can still make a difference by shaking off doubts and insecurities pasted on by sceptics.

And we can also help uncover the mysteries of those who were punished or abducted for their courage and deeds, as in the case of

Raoul Wallenberg, whose story is related on his namesake’s Foundation site.

Raoul Wallenberg is the Swedish diplomat who disappeared in January 1945 after helping to save the lives of thousands of victims condemned to death by the Nazis during World War II. He was captured by Soviet troops, which took control of Budapest in January 1945. He was never seen again. Find out why he was abducted…

So I ask; how many other people with good intentions are taken off the streets? How many are beaten down by forces stronger than them in order to be silenced? And why doesn’t the media showcase more stories to prove that there are good things happening in this world?

Find your voice. Let nobody deny you the right to stand up for yourself and for others in need. You will be remembered for it…
