Despite all the time spent apart and the talks we've had, there's still apprehension between our communities. That makes me feel bad because lots of that resentment is from a wound that keeps getting picked at. I have a scar but I don't mess with it. I can see it and am reminded of how I got it but it doesn't mean I have to be resentful for it.
People make mistakes and we misunderstand one another. We do things we regret and we can only ask for forgiveness for our wrongs. It's up to the other party to accept that apology and move on.. but in a fight, both parties must accept their own share of the fault. No one is blameless. Two people talking, one misunderstands, one did not explain, and the other did not listen. All things take patience.
Fear takes control and causes people to act as animals, thinking only with instinct. Fight or flight kicks in. Not everyone is out to get you. When a member from a community lashes out, it is not that entire community's fault. This goes for both sides. It's long past time we've buried this hatchet and moved on. Not to forget but to remember and grow.
