Fathers and Handkerchiefs

Saturday 10 June 2023

War and Compassion

A man shares about his father, who was a part of the resistance in WWII. When he asked his father how he felt about the men who tortured him, his father said he had no resentment. ‘It was war.’ Rupert shares the story about a Buddhist prisoner of war that said it was a dangerous situation for him because on several occasions he almost lost compassion for his guards.
