00:00:00.587 --> 00:00:05.936
After I lost my brother,
I used to sleep and wake up

2
00:00:06.487 --> 00:00:11.170
feeling that I wish that
I have never existed.

3
00:00:12.159 --> 00:00:17.767
I spent sleepless nights
struggling between revenge,

4
00:00:17.792 --> 00:00:21.072
you know, and reconciliation.

5
00:00:21.589 --> 00:00:23.127
And I still by the way.

6
00:00:23.152 --> 00:00:27.081
Every day I faced that question:
"Am I in the right direction?"

7
00:00:27.106 --> 00:00:29.290
And this is what I discovered lately.

8
00:00:29.315 --> 00:00:33.587
As long as I'm able to
raise these questions,

9
00:00:33.612 --> 00:00:35.886
as long as I'm normal,

10
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.662
because these questions
are part of the process,

11
00:00:39.687 --> 00:00:41.138
a process of change.

12
00:00:41.873 --> 00:00:44.569
Because when you go
to violence you don't question.

13
00:00:44.755 --> 00:00:45.752
You decide.

14
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.504
I still have doubt,

15
00:00:50.235 --> 00:00:51.559
and big doubts

16
00:00:52.735 --> 00:00:55.335
of conflict and peace.

17
00:00:56.216 --> 00:00:58.219
And maybe this is strange to say,

18
00:00:58.894 --> 00:01:01.461
I have to tell you
that there is no,

19
00:01:01.486 --> 00:01:03.881
there is no 100 percent truth.

20
00:01:04.207 --> 00:01:06.244
There is no 100 percent peace.

21
00:01:06.366 --> 00:01:08.649
There is no 100 percent happiness.

22
00:01:09.189 --> 00:01:14.583
There is always part that you
will not feel okay with it.

23
00:01:15.215 --> 00:01:16.448
And that's peace.

24
00:01:16.634 --> 00:01:20.984
Peace is not, is not even to find

25
00:01:21.009 --> 00:01:23.327
the common thing between us.

26
00:01:23.352 --> 00:01:24.041
No.

27
00:01:24.458 --> 00:01:27.286
Peace is to be able to live
with the difference.

28
00:01:28.116 --> 00:01:32.120
Peace is to be able to still
respect others

29
00:01:32.145 --> 00:01:34.417
even if they have bad behaviors

30
00:01:34.505 --> 00:01:37.998
because every human being
deserves to be respected.

31
00:01:38.916 --> 00:01:40.184
So that's peace.

32
00:01:40.335 --> 00:01:43.839
But as victims you know
on both sides we believe

33
00:01:43.864 --> 00:01:48.013
everyone believe that peace
is like some kind of a paradise.

34
00:01:49.540 --> 00:01:51.059
It's that a paradise.

35
00:01:51.084 --> 00:01:52.327
Life is hard.

36
00:01:53.244 --> 00:01:55.341
So we have to be
aware of that.

37
00:01:56.803 --> 00:02:01.649
Yeah, that's why every day I say,

38
00:02:02.694 --> 00:02:04.123
whether I judge others,

39
00:02:04.148 --> 00:02:06.716
or I say to myself,
I'm not doing enough.

40
00:02:07.938 --> 00:02:08.974
I know.

41
00:02:09.862 --> 00:02:11.785
We need to do that with ourselves.
