My dear Guest VOI,
I am truely sorry for your injuries, and have called again and again for a truth and reconcilliation process. I will remind you, albeit gently, that Carol Anne Kelly, Julie Livingston, and some dozens of children murdered outright by British soldiers, will have to be spoken for in the process. The sad fact is war is an eliment of human evolution which will make us all exitinct should we not evolve beyond it. Part of the evololution process is to heal, not the loss of your mobility, but to get beyond anger and hatred.
My mothers people where murdered, 1 out of three of their kind in Europe, and if I carried that real anger, I could not function. We, by the way, are discriminated in Ireland today, by my father's people, but evolution takes the kind of healing that happens in my family. Don't keep your soul in that chair with you. embrace those who you have the most reason to hate and that chair will become a vehical to carry you into a new Ireland. Easy for me to say? Every holiday I count the empty chairs which should be filled with Roma (Gypsies) and Jews in my mother's family, who are now white ash on the fields around Auswitz.
Peace begins with a mirror, not a teliscope.
Larry
