In his latest book, Short Dialogues of Yesterday and Today<\/em> (Aubier), written at the time of the first Gulf War (1990-1991), Gitta Mallasz devotes a chapter to the war, still cruelly topical 25 years later.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I write these lines at the time of the Gulf War, but they apply to all wars, and I have seen a few in my lifetime...<\/p>\n

Readers, helpless, ask me what they can do. So I tell anyone who will listen this Chinese tale:
\nA peasant plows his land. A scholar asks him:
\n\u201cWhat would you do if tomorrow was the end of the world? \u00bb
\nAnd the peasant: \u201cI will continue to plow my land. \u00bb<\/p>\n

A depressed neighbor tells me:
\n\u201cToday, depression is almost general. And you, the four friends, in Budapest, during the Second World War, you who were surrounded by so many horrors, were you depressed? \u00bb<\/p>\n

Well, only once, when we learned of the death of several million Jews in the gas chambers\u2026 but immediately, by calling on the Angel, we regained confidence in Life, in new Life.
\nWe were sometimes almost crushed by the pain, but the trust, no, we never lost it. Thus could be born Dialogues with the Angel<\/em>. And then I learned an important thing:<\/p>\n

War is not decided on the battlefield, in the desert where the inevitable consequences of another battlefield unfold, invisible to the human eye. And this is what matters:<\/p>\n

There, each of my confident smiles undermines the projects of murderous hatred.
\nThere, each of my constructive thoughts diminishes the destructive forces.
\nThere, each of my pleas for peace dims the fires of war.
\nThere, on the other hand, each negative emotion opens wide the door to the invader<\/p>\n

We who live today do not witness this war in the desert by chance; not each of us is the warrior responsible for the great historical balance.<\/p>\n

So, I am not the helpless victim of external events, but perhaps the almighty drop that will decide Life, or its annihilation.<\/p>\n

Who among us is aware of his omnipotence?
\nThere, however, begins the responsibility of Man.<\/p>\n

Gitta Mallasz<\/p>\n

> Following the attacks of November 13 in Paris, a small group began to take over the invisible battlefield every evening at 10 p.m., using the "ammunition" recently offered to a vigil for peace at Forum 104<\/a>, as well as this one:<\/em><\/p>\n

I announce to you that there will be Deliverance,
\nwhen the ONE LIGHT has pierced
\nthe deepest darkness.
\nWe are all working on it.
\nWith joy and gratitude. Gratitude!
