00:00:00.063 --> 00:00:03.421
At a certain level I discovered
that this group

2
00:00:03.446 --> 00:00:09.004
Moral Rearmament were
organizing dialogue sessions

3
00:00:09.029 --> 00:00:12.132
where they brought people
from different sides

4
00:00:12.157 --> 00:00:18.007
from different political denominations
or religious denominations.

5
00:00:18.250 --> 00:00:24.790
And where they spoke on
an "I" level not "we", we won't.

6
00:00:24.815 --> 00:00:26.494
I think. I am.

7
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:30.234
I am afraid of you
and things like that.

8
00:00:30.259 --> 00:00:33.843
And I join these groups of dialogue

9
00:00:34.837 --> 00:00:38.236
and this is where I think

10
00:00:38.261 --> 00:00:46.996
I met on a moral and spiritual level
the other and I discovered that

11
00:00:47.021 --> 00:00:52.071
these or those had names.

12
00:00:52.419 --> 00:00:57.860
And that I could use their
names to speak of them.

13
00:00:58.059 --> 00:01:04.665
And that most of what I have
heard about them was wrong.

14
00:01:04.927 --> 00:01:07.393
And to my surprise that

15
00:01:07.418 --> 00:01:09.815
most of what they heard
about me was wrong

16
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.010
or us I mean as Christians.

17
00:01:12.713 --> 00:01:16.823
And that they carried
part of the truth also.

18
00:01:16.848 --> 00:01:20.463
I did not I was not holding the
whole truth about the situation

19
00:01:20.457 --> 00:01:22.151
in Lebanon and the world.

20
00:01:22.176 --> 00:01:27.197
No. I had to adapt some of my
theories to what they were saying

21
00:01:27.229 --> 00:01:31.276
and later on also my
thoughts and my ideas

22
00:01:31.301 --> 00:01:36.901
because I discovered good
ideas that they had to share

23
00:01:36.917 --> 00:01:39.197
and that what they
were sharing about

24
00:01:39.222 --> 00:01:42.940
how to get out of the situation,
how to change Lebanon

25
00:01:42.965 --> 00:01:46.981
how to come to reach a real
peace and similar things.

26
00:01:47.212 --> 00:01:52.768
Later on, I learned
how to love these guys

27
00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:54.492
and how to work with them.

28
00:01:54.517 --> 00:01:57.455
And since then,
I think that I have

29
00:01:58.392 --> 00:02:04.913
Muslims and even Palestinians
as all leftists as good friends

30
00:02:04.938 --> 00:02:09.438
and we cooperate also
today for a real peace.
