We Are Not Alone

 One of the many (seriously so many) activies we have done over the last week have been meeting with other professors and students from the Universities here in Munich. We have spent hours sitting and talking about a dozen topics. My main take away is that we are not alone in the battle for democracy and justice. It sounds cliché but sometimes you do feel alone, like the only person in the world who sees the signs and fears the worst. It is comforting in a way to know that there are more of us who are trying desperately to stop the wave of crashing democracies and waning rights. As long as we stick together who is to say the war is done? Maybe I have been reading too many novels with flowery language on the plane over here but I mean it all the same!
