It is not about patting one another on the back and turning a blind eye to the wrong. True reconciliation exposes the awfulness, the abuse, the hurt, the truth. It could even sometimes make things worse. It is a risky undertaking but in the end it is worthwhile, because in the end only an honest confrontation with reality can bring real healing. Superficial reconciliation can bring only superficial healing.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"attribution\" style=\"text-align:right;\">&mdash;&nbsp;<cite class=\"author\">Desmond Tutu<\/cite><\/footer><\/blockquote><blockquote class=\"quotescollection-quote\" style=\"background-color:#f4f4f4;color:#444;\"><p>Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"attribution\" style=\"text-align:right;\">&mdash;&nbsp;<cite class=\"author\">Viktor E.
