The goal ought to be respecting the otherness
of others and accepting the God given uniqueness of each one of us, anything
short of that will leave unattended-sparks ready to flare up at short notice
with the whiff of oxygen.
There is a shameless cruelty in us, either we
shy away or refuse to acknowledge the sufferings of others, worrying that it

We sincerely hope the attendees will walk out with the following understanding:
- Other people’s suffering is as legitimate as mine;
- It is easy to see ourselves as Victims, but we must also see the perpetrator in us;
- When we strip the politics out of a conflict, we see hope;
- We can value others suffering without lessening our own;
- The overriding desire to highlight our own blinds us from other’s suffering.
- A sense of responsibility for creating a better world is awakened
