Very interesting write. Rwanda was truly a sad situation. Blame was cast in several directions, at once. The question is...will we be able to recognize it sooner the next time? Sadly...I think not. Self blame really does no one any good...I assume that you are stepping into another's shoes when you write this...and you do it very well...possessing a great deal of empathy, I think. Very interesting perspective! Hugs, Dee
I often wonder what divides the action from the person, or whether the person becomes the action sometimes, then under a different light they can really see what part they had played and how it had effected another, I think that if you truely repent for your actions openly or other-wise then this can be the first step to a much greater road, But if we are to keep on with such actions after knowing what we do is wrong, then this is a foolishness action that can bear no true reward Love Duncan
Willow, how does someone ever clear their conscience of such atrocities. It's difficult to even imagine what man (even children) can inflict on one another... and for what? Excellent write. Brian
Well expressed thoughts and feelings about the ugly fratricidal war of Rwanda. A sad tale told in eloquent finesse. Thanks for sharing Willow.
