00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:05.258
I did not only say I'm sorry
and ask for forgiveness

2
00:00:05.283 --> 00:00:12.346
but I visited and met some of my
victims who are still alive

3
00:00:12.371 --> 00:00:14.752
or some relatives also.

4
00:00:15.123 --> 00:00:16.541
And

5
00:00:18.158 --> 00:00:22.370
you know it's as if they are

6
00:00:22.395 --> 00:00:26.902
they were waiting for something
like this to happen.

7
00:00:27.737 --> 00:00:30.570
People who suffered
suffered a lot.

8
00:00:30.681 --> 00:00:34.433
They were so generous, really.

9
00:00:34.508 --> 00:00:39.016
That I was very very touched

10
00:00:39.630 --> 00:00:40.756
and went home

11
00:00:40.781 --> 00:00:44.555
and maybe it was an occasion
for me to cry again you know

12
00:00:44.555 --> 00:00:51.062
this time of being
thankful really for them

13
00:00:51.087 --> 00:00:56.754
and for God for having put me
in this experience of change

14
00:00:56.779 --> 00:01:00.562
and apology and reconciliation.

15
00:01:00.587 --> 00:01:02.398
Sometimes it was
very tough you know

16
00:01:02.423 --> 00:01:05.538
sometimes people
refuse to forgive you

17
00:01:05.563 --> 00:01:09.021
and I accept that
and understand that a lot.

18
00:01:09.046 --> 00:01:11.544
I'm not expecting
people to forgive.

19
00:01:12.042 --> 00:01:16.973
But I hope to heal some wounds.

20
00:01:16.998 --> 00:01:19.391
You know this is the only
thing I'm trying to do.

21
00:01:19.416 --> 00:01:22.032
I'm not looking for forgiveness

22
00:01:22.118 --> 00:01:24.902
but I asked people
to forgive you know

23
00:01:24.927 --> 00:01:28.757
and I do believe that
God has his own ways

24
00:01:28.782 --> 00:01:32.042
and his own timing maybe you know

25
00:01:32.067 --> 00:01:36.479
so maybe something that
I say today will have an impact

26
00:01:36.504 --> 00:01:39.808
in 20 years, who knows!

27
00:01:40.418 --> 00:01:45.050
I'm not looking for results
you know I'm rather looking

28
00:01:46.416 --> 00:01:50.073
for a real spiritual and moral

29
00:01:52.511 --> 00:01:58.503
opening, opportunities you
know of a better situation

30
00:01:58.549 --> 00:02:00.867
or a better world even sometimes.
