ANZAC Day is commemorated on April 25th in Australia and New Zealand to remember those who fell in Gallipoli and subsequent wars.
The ANZACs embodied the value of Stoicism, which is based on the idea that the only things within our control are our thoughts and actions.
Faced with overwhelming odds, harsh conditions, and constant danger, the ANZACs focused on what they could control and stayed committed to their own actions.
The Ode, recited at ANZAC Day ceremonies, acknowledges that the ANZACs may be gone, but their spirit lives on and their legacy remains.
War is ultimately the folly of the so-called ‘elite,’ but it is suffered by the rest of us.
We should strive to be the best version of ourselves, no matter what life throws our way, and find love through sacrifice.
It was the morning of April the 25th in 1915 that the ANZACs — the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps — fatefully landed in the wrong place, along the shores of Gallipoli, Turkey.
What followed was a brutal eight-month-long battle that saw more than 11,000 Australian and New Zealand diggers lose their lives.
That was almost one in every six men who had landed in Gallipoli.
Today, being ANZAC Day — a day of commemoration in both Australia and New Zealand for those who fell in Gallipoli, in World War One and in subsequent wars — we reflect on the values that sustained the ANZACs during that difficult time.
One such value is Stoicism, a philosophy that originated in Ancient Greece and Rome that is based on the idea that the only things that are truly within our control are our thoughts and actions.
They may not have known it at the time but that ancient philosophy was embodied by the ANZACs at Gallipoli.
Faced with overwhelming odds, harsh conditions, and constant danger, the ANZACs did not give in to despair but rather chose to focus on what they could control: their own actions.
These heroes not only stayed focused on what they could control but faced their challenge with dignity and honour.
Stoicism, and the example of the ANZACs, is something that we can all learn from, whether we're facing the trials of war or the challenges of everyday life.
A section of a poem “For The Fallen” by English poet Laurence Binyon is known as The Ode and is recited at ANZAC Day ceremonies throughout Australia and New Zealand and beyond.
It begins with the words:
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
This acknowledges that while the ANZACs may be gone, their spirit lives on and their legacy remains.
The Ode continues:
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.
The incredible hardship and suffering the ANZACs faced — with courage, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to God, king and country — is something we must continue to remember.
But we should also remember the futility of war and its terrible cost.
In Australia at least, following the Great War, there were few families there were not touched by loss or casualty, so much so that there were cenotaphs and memorials swiftly erected in nearly every city, town and village across the land.
This serves as a reminder that while war is ultimately the folly of the so-called ‘elite’, the ones that suffer are the everyday people.
As French philosopher Jean-Paul Satre put it: “When the rich make war, it’s the poor that die.”
So let’s remember the ANZACs today and reflect on their legacy and the values they stood for.
Let’s honour their sacrifice by focusing on what we can control and facing our challenges with courage and resilience.
And — like the ANZACs — let’s strive to be the best version of ourselves, no matter what life throws our way.
In following the example of the ANZACs and being the best of ourselves, we will find Stoicism but also selflessness, loyalty and love.
Love? How do we find love in the legacy of war?
The answer is simple.
We find it through sacrifice, for as the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ According to Saint John tells us:
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Lest we forget.
God bless you, your family and nation.
Take care,
George Christensen

Amen George.
To focus on that which we can action , is I believe the only way forward. The alternative plays into the hands of the the enemy.
May God in His mercy and grace protect us from cooperating with the enemy.

"LEST WE FORGET" this refers to the the men and women who lost their lives. I am eternally grateful to them for the wonderful opportunity and life they gave me.
BUT What did they do it for? LEST WE FORGET = FREEDOM from Governance tyranny, by Hitler
We MUST to educate the Public to ask themselves: What is happening now?
= A different type of war
The tyranny of Governance all round the world is taking piecemeal the FREEDOM our forefathers fought for with bullets. Now the enemy is our own Governments changing laws and constitutions and the internet and media to numb us into submission with lies and propaganda to pursue the WEF agenda.!!!
The Populous is in a BOILING POT, slowly being cooked.g The temperature is rising. then without warning we all suddenly l be "dead" FRIGHTENING.
LEST WE FORGET............
