Remember atrocities, but do not live in hate

IT seems tragic that none of us on this small island can fully escape the atrocities of the past or that we cannot live beyond the cold, dark shadow cast by the memories of the terrible wrongs inflicted by one community on the other.

The legitimacy of the ages-old conflict is renewed on a regular basis.

If not at a ceremony of commemoration, then some official report or other dealing with decades-old atrocities reminds people who are troubled by these things they have a legitimate cause and their enemies did great wrong.
