=========

There is no joy without sadness. Even when life becomes bliss, found all you need, true love, it will be taken. Health and beauty, will be lost. Success and goals reached, age breaks them down. In this life, it's all temporary. In the medieval days, religion is what carried people through this fact, their lives even shorter. In modern days, it may be denial that keeps us going. But in the early to mid 20th century, it was hope.

This SIM was built for you about that hope. The hope you feel deep inside. Yes, we put some of our healthiest young on the front lines, but the reason, they themselves believed, was worth fighting for. And so many volunteered. For centuries, The White Cliffs of Dover stood tall as a warning gate to hell. Then as a beacon to home. They remained throughout, although crumbling a bit in a few places. They never wavered. They are not temporary. So they gave so many ... hope. But folks, it's not the cliffs that are great.

It is the human being.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for visiting and reminding us of our amazing humanity.

I will see you in the next world. ~ Tah
