Sir, – The heartbreaking scenes of thousands of Norway’s citizens mourning their loss together at the “rose parade” at the Radhusplass on Monday evening in central Oslo indicated a beautiful inversion of Anders Behring Breivik’s aims.
The division he attempted to create has only managed to make Norway more unified and the commitment of Norwegians to openness and inclusivity even stronger still.
One young survivor said on Sunday, “If one person can express so much hate, imagine how much love a whole country can give.”
Her sentiments, and what is happening throughout Norway at the moment, are a lesson to the world. – Yours, etc,
