Here, in Canada, no one is forcing us to live with people who don't have empathy for what we and others went through. In Rwanda, however, the government is pressuring survivors to forgive those who murdered their loved ones.
Forgiveness can't be ordered. It comes from a personal place. People can't now be ordered to forgive others. It's impossible. Unsolicited forgiveness has to start with a heartfelt confession from the wrongdoer seeking forgiveness. Only then can the victim forgive. Without a confession or request for forgiveness, how can survivors forgive? Do you understand what I mean?
