Alice Herz-Sommer, who recently turned 110 years old, is known for her powerful wisdom. She is the oldest living survivor of the Holocaust. If more people looked at life through the same eyes as she does, the world would be a better place.
There are a number of lessons we can learn from listening to our elders, especially Alice, both on an individual level and on a collective level, as one human race.
The first point that she makes is based on optimism, for one to have hope and to always look on the bright side. This is a great reminder, especially with what we are experiencing on the planet right now. Humanity is waking up, we are starting to question the world around us and what is really happening here. As a result, many people can experience a sense of dread, depression and hopelessness because they are waking up to the fact that the world isn’t the way they’ve been told it is. There is a lot happening on our planet that does not resonate with the soul, a lot that can cause your heart to break. If this is something you feel, you are not alone.
“There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious” Carl Jung
