Diary of Anne Frank: The best remedy for those who are frightened, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere they can be alone, alone with the sky, nature and God. For then and only then can you feel that everything is as it should be and that God wants people to be happy amid nature's beauty and simplicity. As long as this exists, and that should be forever, I know that there will be solace for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances. I firmly believe that nature can bring comfort to all who suffer. Oh, who knows, perhaps it won't be long before I can share this overwhelming feeling of happiness with someone who feels the same as I do. 20 years later a phenomenon of pop culture arose from the ashes of World War II. 2/23/1965 Beatles in Studio Two (control room only): 10.00am-1.00pm. Stereo mixing: 'Yes It Is' (from take 14); 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away. 33 years later I'm in the studio: 2/23/1998 Another warm day, 50 degrees. Finished Ice Moons. 2/23/2001 Longing for a warm day. This winter has been brutally cold. Changing weather patterns are now becoming evident. The Post 9-11 world: 2/23/2006 Sunnis bomb Shiite mosque. Many are saying Iraq is tumbling inexorably toward civil war. (It really takes a dictator to keep the tribes in check). On-Point 2/23/2021 Read an article by one of the soldiers who was in the Iraq war and he was referencing a book and a speech by English philosopher John Gray, "Black Mass: Apocalyptic Religion and the Death of Utopia", written in 2007, specifically the bit about when the soldier was fighting there, there was the underlying (sunk) belief that he was there to promote liberal democracy. Without sunk beliefs (or costs) there would be no motivation. It's really a form of cultism not unlike what's happening in the US currently.
