Have you ever heard of the concept of ‘Seven Generations?’ This concept teaches us that our actions and decisions will affect seven generations after us. This teaching also challenges us to think beyond an individual level to make good decisions that will benefit seven generations. So, how does the concept of Seven Generations relate to reconciliation?
It is the awareness that we may not ‘complete’ reconciliation within our lifetime, but we can start the process. It is the awareness that it may be our children and grandchildren (and their grandchildren) that will benefit most from the reconciliation processes that we have started today.
