Heroische Gelassenheit

Heroic calmness

That's how Munich's reaction to last Friday's shooting with 10 young people dead was described in this article in The Economist.







"As you come into this world, something else is also born. You begin your life and it begins a journey - towards you. It moves slowly, but it never stops. Wherever you go, whatever path you're taking: it will follow; never faster; never slower; always coming. You will run, it will walk; you will rest, it will not. One day you will linger in the same place too long; you will sit too still or sleep too deep, and when - too late - you rise to go, you will notice a second shadow next to yours. Your life will then be over." - (Doctor Who, S9xE11)
