Jan, this is enlightening. I am one of those in the highlighted part above. I barely know about any of this. Thank you for writing such an important essay.

Two things sticking to me right now. The horrible things humans have done and continue to do to others. And your comment about forgiveness. I wish I could have met your husband’s grandmother.

I am sitting here, paused. Reflecting on the merits of time spent on forgiveness. There is much to be done.
