“Advisers and scholars will tell you that history is a narrative of strength,they would recount the stories of rise and falls of nations and empires. There would be histories of armies,battles and decisive victories. But this isn’t true strength. It’s merely power. I now believe the true strength is found in vulnerability,in forgiveness,and in love. There is a beautiful up-upside-down truth,which at these moments of pure strength appears weakness to those who don’t know better. For a long time, I didn’t know better. I ask you and your brother to reject history as a narrative of strength,and instead have faith that it can be a narrative of love. “
