Love, what a beautiful thing ...

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place. And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love. Always choose love.”  

(from Daniel’s Story by Carol Matas, page 70)

This is a quote from Daniel's Story, it's about a boy and his life during the Holocaust. His sister tells him this while he's starting to lose hope. Daniel began losing hope but his younger sister reminded him to not stop believing, to always be reminded of the things that he loves so that he can have a motivation for him to live. In my opinion, I believe that love is the key to keeping this universe in place. During the time of the Holocaust many didn't have hope only few did. Those people who did have hope was because of love. Love gave them hope. They would think about their future with their loved ones. They would think about all the things they loved, so that they could have hope and motivate themselves not to give up but instead to try their hardest. 

Love is something powerful, saying these 3 simple words "I love you" to someone is a very important thing. Love is in every single soul even if you might not show it. The love of someone can help you get through difficult times. For example in Daniel's story, Daniel could just stop trying and give up. He could eat all his food. But instead he's motivating himself and giving food to Rosa, who really needs it. He chooses love, which helps him not give up. Love is the key to many great things.
