He is living proof of the truth in his message. Even in prison, slavery, and concentration camps there are always some who find a way to be useful, kind, and helpful. In such dire situations, a simple and pure act can save lives and provide inspiration and hope for others.
There is no power on earth that can neutralize
the influence of a high, pure, simple, and useful life.
~ Booker T. Washington ~

I agree, Marie. In such fires the purity and greatness of some shine as beacons of compassion, hope, and forgiveness.
