To end on Luxemburg’s words once more, this time to her friend Mathilde Wurm, in 1916: See that you remain a human being. To be a human being is the main thing, above all else. And that means: to be firm and clear and cheerful, yes, cheerful in spite of everything and anything, because howling is the business of the weak. To be a human being means to joyfully toss your entire life “on the giant scales of fate” if it must be so, and at the same time to rejoice in the brightness of every day and the beauty of every cloud. Oh, I don’t know any recipe that can be written down on how to be a human being, I only know when a person is one, and you too always used to know when we walked together through the fields of Sudende for hours at a time and the red glow of evening lay upon the stalks of grain. The world is beautiful with all its horrors and would be even more beautiful if there were no weaklings or cowards in it. Let us join Luxemburg’s calling, reverberating in the oath taken by Touma and Orr, summon our moral courage and walk together, drawing on our shared humanity — against dehumanization, against militarism, and against war.
