Just a brief tribute to the recently-married Syrian who braved life (but was ultimately served up death) in his war-wracked nation to minister to trauma-riven kids and others there, serving as a clown...who's apparently joined the queues to the morgue there. Like Mr al-Hussein (if my memory serves me aright), the archivist who stayed till he - quite literally - dropped (and died) in ancient Palmyra awhile ago, rather than see his lifelong treasure desecrated and destroyed by the philistine cult of el-Sissi...
Didn't someone say somewhere, sometime that the most basic and pre-eminent virtue is that of courage - one which embraces every other, especially that foremost one, love, seeing as it necessarily presupposes it?
