Reconciliation


By Genuine  

We need reconciliation in our life. The term “Reconciliation” has become fashionable in our present world. On the contrary, what our world today needs is a healing of editorship at all levels: Personally, Socially, nationally, internationally and even cosmically. And especially to the lives of those who have suffered.

The world has never needed reconciliation more than it does now as we enter the 21st century. Just as we start to envision a somewhat more peaceful society and hope to put the past, blood- soaked centuries behind us, we witness another horrific and violent event. The September 11 terrorist attacks in the united state killed thousands of people. The repercussions of those attacks are now uprooting many lives in Afghanistan while spreading economic and psychological turmoil throughout the world, all in the name of justice and freedom.

Social reconciliation is a process of reconstruction. All have been touched in one way or another by violence, so all have to be engaged in the rebuilding. It is not the building of a society where there was non-before. It involves going back over the past and discovering the truth they’re amid the tangled lies of violence. Social reconciliation is a process of reconstructing the moral order of society.

According to the Karen people, we have many who have suffered. Especially the people who live inside, in their village always they told like this, our live in relocation site. They have many problems. They never had enough food, cloths and blankets for them especially for their children. In the cold season they slept beside the fire to warm them selves. They were not willing to live in this world anymore. The Burmese Army attack and destroy their village and burnt all their huts and kill them like animals. So it is too dangerous to stay and too dangerous to leave.

The road to reconciliation is to come to terms with the past hurts and suffering caused by violence. No genuine reconciliation can do away with dealing with the real cause of suffering. It is a gradual process precisely because it involves a fundamental repair to human lives, especially to the lives of those who have suffered.  So that, our people needs peace, freedom, and reconciliation. The worlds need peacemakers. We hope that one day we will be free and we will go back to our own country. If we live in our country we will be free and glad.  We really believe that God will prepare for us.
