First I would like to assure you that the people of our country feel deeply for your countrymen.
My wife is a teacher and we have had this discussion several times. One of my heroes is a teacher who was in the school in Russia when the terrorists took several hundred kids hostage a few years ago. He was in his 70’s but as his students were denied water he fought so they could get to the drinking fountains. They beat him terribly. Later when the local law enforcement were trying to free the kids he helped many escape while placing himself in the line of fire. He was killed that day helping his students live.
He is one of my heroes. This story has nothing to do with politics or even local culture. This is about a person doing the right thing for children he was responsible for. He gave his life so his students could live.
Thank you.
You’re right. Although we live in different cultures and those cultures have conflict sometime, we share something and some value in common, like courage, helping and heroism.
I feel my decision to send a post here and have discussion with you guys is a right decision, which helps me to think this matter from different angels.
With a hero in heart, we can live a brave life.
