Berlin celebrates night that changed the world
The night that the Berlin Wall came down was a marker. It consigned the Cold War to the past and open a new path for Germany's future. Thousands upon thousands flocked to the place where it once stood on this anniversary of its deconstruction. The east German leader, Merkel, said, "German unity is not complete." When the wall came down, it was the end as well as a beginning of new journey for Germany.
I'm very happy that Germany, though it has not demonstrated this throughout history, is learning from the past. This celebration of the day the Berlin Wall came down is a monumental moment. It shows that not only have the physical barriers been broken down, the psychological wall has been removed as well. While Germany isn't perfect, it is definitely on its way to bettering itself. I applaud the steps that have been taken for it to get to this point.
