If I take responsibility for that horrible thing that my country did in my name, I will have to take responsibility for every horrible thing that it has done in my name. And then my heart will be crushed by the weight of my responsibility and my utter failure.
If I cry now because I have seen this terrible truth or this cruelty, if I allow my heart to break for this, then my heart will break for every terrible truth and every cruelty that has happened or is happening or will happen, and my heart will be destroyed by the pain of my own small impotence.
But if my heart's destruction will help in any small way in the healing of this world, then I wish with all my heart for my heart's destruction.
