A word of truth can mobilise two peoples looking for the road to reconciliation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have to support truth and reconciliation and some form of justice.
Reconciliation requires changes of heart and spirit, as well as social and economic change. It requires symbolic as well as practical action.
Reconciliations are for after the violence has ended.
This is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love.
It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear.
In the last twelve years, we have come some distance towards reconciliation and the breaking down of disadvantage. Let us take encouragement from what has been achieved and set our minds and hearts to end the remaining roadblocks.
Truth is not a matter of fact but a state of harmony with progress and hope. Enveloped only in its wings will we ever soar to the promise of our greater selves.
Many promising reconciliations have broken down because while both parties come prepared to forgive, neither party come prepared to be forgiven.
It takes one person to forgive, it takes two people to be reunited.
Clarity and consistency are not enough: the quest for truth requires humility and effort.
