RE: TRAVELMAN in CAMBODIA: What it felt like to visit Tuel Sleng Genocide Museum and The Killing Fields
all the horror happened from men killing and torturing other men, in all over this tiny planet, are just unbearable to me... We, here, in our everyday confort, we don't even know how painful it is to survive just some thousands miles away... So, thank you for telling, us, thank you for letting us know, thank you for making us more acknowledging and less ignoring... Thank you so much.
Places like that are good to force you to acknowledge the atrocities happening in the past and present.
and not forget... I'm born in Viet Nam. I don't forget... And you help us to finally, enjoy our every day minutes of happiness. Thanks again.
Never forget. The Vietnamese also underwent horrific and unbearable suffering at the hands of an insane military regime. Not by the Khmer Rouge, but by the USA.
Of course, just as love cannot be compared, neither can evil be compared. But anyone who realizes the sufferings and horror that were inflicted on your people can only be appalled at the actions of the perpetrators.
Apart from that, I have the utmost respect for the way that both the Vietnamese and the Cambodians have moved on, have (for the most part) forgiven the perpetrators, and have looked onwards go more LIFE.
Never forget the horror, and always remember "Life."
forgiveness IS the key to true Happiness... A healed heart is a heart capable of forgiveness. thank you for your so beautiful message, Mages.tytyty
So true. And on a practical level, if a victim does not forgive the aggressor or continues to hate the aggressor, the victims hurts nobody except himself.
Once he forgives, he begins to heal. Once he begins to love, he is healed.
