We all
have a part in creating a society that creates a perpetrator.
There
can be no reconciliation without responsibility.
It
seems there is no end to the creative ways we humans can find to hurt each
other, and no end to the reasons we feel justified in doing so.
The
quality of human life on our planet is nothing more than the sum total of our
daily interactions with one another.
When
we cannot admit our own woundedness, we cannot see the other as a wounded
person who has harmed us out of his or her own ignorance, pain, or brokenness.
Healing
does not mean reversing.
