I love that you end this post with an open question, Shivya. This topic is very near and dear to my heart, so thank you for sharing this. I had only heard of the South African truth and reconciliation commission, hadn't known Rwanda had done this hard, loving experiment too.
I guess there are no definite answers, but I felt so moved by this social experiment - and have wondered if we can borrow it to finally begin some social healing in our country too.

Beautiful thought. It’s a very strong question that requires a deeper and personal answer.
Very much so - there are no easy or concrete answers, but there are approaches not rooted in hatred that the world can learn from.
