BE HAPPY
Be happy, you who live in fine apartments, in ugly houses or in hovels. Be happy, you who have your loved ones, and you also who sit alone and dream and can weep. Be happy, you who torture yourselves over metaphysical problems, and you who suffer because of money worries. Be happy, you the sick who are being cared for, and you who care for them, and be happy, oh how happy, you who die a death as normal as life, in hospital beds or in your homes. Be happy, all of you; millions of people envy you. By Micheline Maurel, a survivor of the Nazi camp, Ravensbruck, from The Oxford Book of Death, by D. J. Enright, p. 242
