"You
can tell people of the need to struggle, but when the powerless
start to see that they really can make a difference, nothing can
quench the fire.”
When someone
offends you and you haven't let go, every time you see him, you
grow breathless or your heart skips a beat. If the trauma was
really severe, you dream of revenge. Above you, is the Mountain
of Peace and Prosperity where we all want to go. But when you
try to climb that hill, the person you haven't forgiven weighs
you down. It's a personal choice whether or not to let go. No
one can tell you how long to mourn a death or rage over a rape.
But you can't move forward until you break that chain.
People who
have lived through a terrible conflict may be hungry and desperate,
but they are not stupid. They often have very good ideas about
how peace can evolve, and they need to be asked.
