  • The lullaby, as a symbol of hope, but also as a protest against absolute evil, as a call to " wake up!", can and must now sound louder! Your voices must be louder!
    The terrible, merciless, unjust war in Ukraine has been going on for three years already! Most people did not believe that it was possible in principle and hoped that it would end quickly. The very idea of "war" did not fit in their heads, because war is pain and blood, it is suffering, it is murder and it is absolutely absurd in its essence. Now, after a long time, we see, alas, that no appeals to common sense, to mercy, have not worked. The earth is on fire and the probability that this fire will spread further is becoming more and more real. What should we do to all of us who are not directly affected by this disaster, those who are far from the epicenter, who wake up in the morning, can drink their morning coffee without fear at least for today? Now we hear louder and louder voices - "This is not our war", "the people are tired, we have enough unsolved problems".... Those crying for solidarity, concern for human grief, and compassion seem to be in the minority now, and, as it seems, life goes on as usual....
    Should we continue "ringing all the bells"? In our opinion, today, more than ever, it is worth it! We should do it as loudly and relentlessly as possible until the barbaric war against a sovereign European state is stopped! In democratic countries, people can and should influence the authorities with demand - to do everything in their power to protect Ukrainian towns and villages, to protect the Ukrainian people who bleed every day, to protect our common European Home, and to give us, our children and those who will come to this Earth after us a chance for a peaceful life! "There are no strangers' children!" wrote Ukrainian mother Olena Stepova, addressing mothers from Russia back in 2014. We want to believe that empathy, the ability to empathize with other people's grief as one's own, somehow still lives in people's hearts. The words of John Donne come to mind: "The death of every man diminishes me, for I am one with all Mankind, and therefore ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for you". The lullaby, as a symbol of hope, but also as a protest against absolute evil, as a call to " wake up!", can and must now sound louder! Your voices must be louder!
