Some people throw up their hands and conclude that humans are at base cruel and vindictive and nothing can be done. Others will naïvely hope for world peace or fairytale reunions. But one thing seems clear: Given the level of political and interpersonal conflict in our world, there is an urgent need for discussions of forgiveness and reconciliation.1]
