What this world needs

I’m pretty sure you know about the recent tragedy in Oslo, Norway. You might want to turn away from anything that reminds it. However, I think there’s something positive in this story as well.

When reporters asked the mayor of Oslo whether the city is in need for more security, he said:

I don’t think security can solve problems. We need to teach greater respect.

This very moment when the masses asked for more blood, he took a pause. He responded in a quite unexpected way. He talked about respect. He selected education instead of violence.

I don’t know anything about Fabian Stang and most probably I’ll never hear his name again. But his response worths two moments of our time.
