     If memory is kept alive in order to cultivate old hatreds and
     resentments, it is likely to culminate in vengeance, and in a
     repetition of violence. But if memory is kept alive in order to
     transcend hateful emotions, then remembering can be a healing.

  1. I don't know Pumla but her quote is so true of my country and its history.

    So pleased you were able to comment on the Korean version of Parker Palmer's book.
