My grandmother was one of 3 survivors out of all the dozens of members of her family that didn't survive the extirpation. She escaped with her older sister at the age of 6, smuggled in mail bags on a truck and ended up in a camp in Russia that was still in horrible conditions. She eventually was freed and came to America at 16, only speaking German, learned 5 languages including English and became the Valedictorian of her school.

My Grandmother’s brother, John, survived the Japanese camps on the Thai Burma railway, and he had the same attitude as Eddie. When he told me about his experiences in the camps and how he had forgiven his captors, I was stunned. How can you forgive that sort of brutality and mindless violence? He said if he had held on to the hate, it would have consumed him. Eddie reminds me of John, and the world needs to listen to these people, not the ones who have a large media presence and no empathy!

I also had a friend who endured the Japanese camps after the fall of Hong Kong. He suffered lifelong health problems as a result and to his dying day he hated everything Japanese. He said he did not have permission to forgive. That was his way of remaining loyal to his many friends who died in the most appalling conditions. He was a lovely man and I could find no reason to question his attitude. He lived it, I didn't.

“Young people are always running and i wonder where they are running to”. So true. Sometimes I think that my generation is overloading itself with expectations. You can’t do and see everything in your life. Your life can only be a tiny fraction of what exists but it is YOUR tiny fraction. It’s a special unique experience and a limited one. We should not try to have it all but to enjoy the things that come our way with utter attention and dedication

My Uncle spent 6 yrs in a Soviet prison camp. There he was beaten and almost starved to death. He had to eat rats and saw dust to survive. In between the the beating and hard labor they tried to instill the virtues of Socialism in him. When he got out he changed. He was now more fun loving and happy than he had been before. I asked him how he could be so happy after what had been done to him. He told me: The Communists took 6 yrs of my life making me miserable and I'm not going to give them another minute being unhappy

Today it is December 4th, 2022 I started reading the book "The Happiest Person in the World" yesterday and read it through in one go. I don't know when was the last time I cried so much. I'm German, rather conservative, you could also say right-wing But this book shook me. I was in Dachau as a teenager that was 30 years ago and had no major connection to the subject but my friend Eddie as he calls me personally in the book has described things that one cannot or could not imagine the time between Buchenwald and Ausschwitz is described in such a way that it drives tears of anger and shame into the body it is a shame what people (German) can do to other people. hate and resentment described here are devastating If I hadn't known the book had a happy ending, I wouldn't have read it i have learned a lot in my life today and will also implement a lot of what i have learned today I admire Eddie for what he was able to endure and whenever he met Kurt again I was happy for both of them thank you for writing this book Stefan with Google translator

"Please, do not walk in front of me, I may not be able to follow. Please, do not walk behind me, I may not be able to lead. Just, walk beside me and be my friend" That's the most sophisticated yet concise definition of compassion. From a 99-year-old man who just made not only my eyes watery but a new friend - by giving such a precious present to me. I am humbled. 😶

@@susie9893 If I may, I agree with you except for one thing. I used to say for people not to let anyone or anything steal their joy. I had a lot to learn. You phrased it to not allow it to be taken. In that instance it is still "taken". I think to many, even though I understand your statement and basically agree, would feel that you are not getting it stolen if you allow them to take it. The way I say it now....Don't give your joy away!!!... It has been a huge part of why I have been able to live with peace over the past few years. No one can take it without your permission. Stealing is doing that very thing - taking without permission. But if you hold strong to your faith and to any sliver of faith in humanity, retaining your joy can truly become second nature.

What I admired the most about this man is how brave he is in deciding and enforcing to be happy and refusing to hate, despite the horrendous tragedies he experienced in his life. Stories like this helps us all to put in prospective how we view out tragedies and how we adjust to them. Important things in life are really few, we often get distracted by details. Beautiful speech Eddie, I wish you well and hope you safe and happy.

Your story makes us think of how we must bring beauty into our lives and joy and love, which will help to keep ugliness and grief out. Eddie you are living proof of the power of your intention to make the world and your own family and friends happier and more loving. Thank you and and as a man without the mental prison of lots of people...... I hope you won't let anyone convince you that you've reached some sort of age where you should do something different. You happy ideas have kept you strong and healthy, and probably your wife too... You are one of the youngest hearts around and that will keep you strong and young for unknown number of years.. Thanks for the very encouraging talk!!
