Nema mjesta malodušju - okupiti drago kamenje

Znam, teško je očekivati povratak svakog pojedinog dragog kamena kruni kojoj pripada. Osobito je teško izmoliti razmicanje svih oceana i mora koja dijele naše ljude u svijetu i njihovu Domovinu (Hrvatsku i BiH). Međutim, državne se institucije moraju (na)učiti svojoj ustavnoj dužnosti - brizi o svakom svom čovjeku u svijetu. S druge strane, oni koji su aboridžine poticali na domoljublje znati će ga prenijeti i na vlastitu djecu. Nema mjesta malodušju!
