Mankind is One


They came first for the Communists.
And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

And then they came for the trade unionists.
And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

And then they came for the Jews.
And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

And then... They came for me...
And by that time there was no one left to speak up
...

One way to promote the oneness of mankind is to learn and use the planned international language Esperanto.

Take a look at http://www.esperanto.net

I know of Esperanto, although, let's say English, is good enough...

The problem is not the lack of a common tongue, but the lack of a common heart!...

The thoughts, not the words...

EVERYTHING happens here
