I found it quite moving that the theme of the cover was forgiveness. Fighting extremist hate with more hate has a best case of only shifting which people suffer because it, and a worse case that is truly horrible to contemplate.
I know saying you forgive your attackers will almost certainly not make the world a better place. But there were so many reactions that could have added to the fire. It's very hopeful to see people struggling to break the cycle even in the face of such loss.
- ca98am79 12y agoI agree with you almost completely - except I do think that forgiveness definitely will and does make the world a better place. It just did - you and I and countless other people have been moved and inspired by this gesture of forgiveness. How can that not make the world better? If they had instead requested vengeance - it would continue the cycle of misery, hate and destruction.
