A step towards humanity

Image


Take a look at the above news article on today's ET. The looting of the painting happened during second world war. Almost 80+ years ago. The person who took the painting is not alive and the one who had lost it would not be either. A generation has passed. But now the decision to return to its rightful owner surprised me and also made me realize that progress towards humanity is ongoing. 

A century ago, it was alright occupy and loot someone else's property. Physical strength and ability to fight and win a war was all that mattered. But now, no more. Not longing for what is not ours and taking steps to correct the mistakes happened a generation ago, shows the changed mindset of current generation and the goodwill towards a larger society, humankind. Hope and wish this wisdom spreads.
