18 Apr A Durable Soul

Some years back I viewed a documentary movie about the brutalities of the “Dirty War” in Argentina (1976 – 83) when thousands of people disappeared through state sponsored terrorism.

One woman interviewed was a rare survivor.

She was asked how she felt about the perpetrators, “you must hate them” suggested the interviewer.

“No” she said, “I don’t hate them, I fear them.”

She nearly lost her self, but never lost her soul.
