If
you want to momentarily forget the world and all its catastrophic or less tragic
challenges, just spend the day in a small beach village like De Haan, on the
Belgian coast. I did it and I realised, once again, how easy is to ignore the
outside world when everything around you is orderly and predicable, the houses
are Belle Époque and the people on the streets are just enjoying the quiet and
the beauty of the place.
Then,
if you put a sunny day on top of it, you are indeed disconnected.
One should be able to disconnect once in a while. In addition to everything
else, it gives us a chance to realise how lucky one is because peace, liberty
and security have no price. They remain, here, and elsewhere, in Iraq, Ukraine,
in the conflict zones and in countries in economic crisis, the ultimate goal
for everyone.
And
that we should not fail to recall even in a pretty village.
