The Constant Star of Friendship
In a world defined by uncertainty and fear, Margot Frank offered a powerful reflection on what truly endures. Her quote is a profound meditation on the instability of life during the war, noting that everything is in flux: “Times change, people change, thoughts about good and evil change, about true and false.”
Margot, the quiet observer and thoughtful older sister, understood that the very foundations of society—morality, truth, and time itself—had been shaken by the events around her.
Yet, amidst this universal chaos, she pointed to a single, unwavering anchor: “But what always remains fast and steady is the affection that your friends feel for you, those who always have your best interest at heart.”
This quote is a testament to the essential human need for connection and loyalty. For Margot, and for her family in the Secret Annex, the affection and dedication of their friends and helpers were not just a comfort, but a matter of life and death. Her words elevate genuine affection into a moral absolute, a constant truth that survives the corruption of the world and the shifting loyalties of others. It is a beautiful and simple ode to the enduring power of true friendship.
