Why do we let others, from a prism of ignorance, create our image of a people? Why don\u2019t we get to know that people, their culture, customs, and decide for ourselves instead of looking to someone else, someone \u201csmarter\u201d to serve up a toxic meal of hatred? Why hate someone? What for? I\u2019m trying to understand that principle of hatred, destruction, killing and war. It\u2019ll never be acceptable to me, or understandable. I often wonder how you can hate someone just because they don\u2019t belong to some category you call \u201cyour own\u201d.<\/p>\n
I would define the training as waking up your own awareness, responsibility towards individuals, towards society and the whole world. Subtle threads run through it that allow the participants to get to know themselves. Their own emotions. Their mistakes and prejudices. To question and correct distorted images created over the years on the wrong canvas, with the wrong paints.<\/p>\n
Even ten years later, the training leaves a strong impression of awakened awareness and understanding of others. An impression that broke through the prejudice of war. An impression that we are all people \u2013 and we all want the same thing. To build peace.<\/p>\n
Getting to know different people, their stories, will remain with me throughout my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
