- 39. • Communities are built through building relationships of trust and commitment. • We all are doing the best we can (most of the time) • We don’t know all there is to know. • Just because you are, doesn’t mean you understand. • Oppression is pervasive and impacts us all. • Not our faults, but we must accept responsibility. • Conflict and discomfort are often part of growth. • Seek first to understand, then to be understood. • Practice some forgiveness and letting go. • Self-work, healing and self love are necessary for acceptance of others. • There are no quick fixes. • Individuals and communities do grow and change. • There is HOPE!
