Dr. Mat­thi­as Wes­se­ler (Foto: Hen­ne, Dk., 2024) ist seit mei­ner Stu­di­en­zeit Anfang der 80er mein Didak­tik-Men­tor und mein Freund und er wird es immer blei­ben. Ich bat ihn, mir für die „Denk-Bar“ ein ihm beson­ders bedeut­sa­mes Zitat zu schi­cken. Hier ist es:

It is just the way things are done. I don’t mean here to set up poli­ti­ci­ans and media as the new evil. “For­gi­ve them Lord, for they know not what they do.” But that is what they do. They divi­de us. They teach us to hate each other.

Don’t fall for it. That’s my request. Don’t fall for it. Ins­tead, enter the poli­ti­cal sphe­re with the ques­ti­ons that come from com­pas­si­on and lead to love. That is the only revo­lu­ti­on worth having.

Dan­ke, Mat­thi­as!
