The Christmas Truce or “What Man Can Conceive . . .”

“I think I know why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It gives us a glimpse of the world as we wish it could be and says, “This really happened once.” It reminds us of those thoughts we keep hidden away, out of range of the TV and newspaper stories that tell us how trivial and mean human life is. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really could be different.”

When humans listen to their hearts and act on that, instead of the dictates of state and religion or the misinformation served up by the media, peace on earth to men and women of good will, will be real-ized.
