I feel a strong urge to revisit this podcast, centering on Forgiveness at the National Level. This theme represents a vital step in our nation's journey of transformation and healing toward a peaceful existence, ensuring a safe future for current and upcoming generations.

Forgiveness does not necessitate the physical presence of those we aim to forgive. National leaders can address specific events and seek forgiveness on behalf of the citizens and residents affected by World War I, World War II, and other significant incidents throughout history. This act of forgiveness is directed toward both the souls who have passed away and those still grappling with the trauma from events like the Holocaust, the plight of comfort women in Japan and Korea, and the experiences of indentured laborers taken from their homelands as examples. 

Engaging in this healing process allows us to mend the nation's wounds and address the hurtful words, trauma, and challenges faced by our global citizens throughout the years. This journey of self-healing can be applied on a national scale, enabling us to forgive and recover from past scars. It is essential to avoid carrying the burdens of the past into the future, thus laying a peaceful foundation for humanity and future generations.

Historically, our ancestors lived in harmony, shared their lands for mutual benefit, thrived in agriculture, engaged in honest trade, and enriched our cultural heritage through progress and innovation.

May this initiative inspire nations to embark on their own journeys of forgiveness and healing. As we collectively acknowledge the pain and suffering of the past, we pave the way for a future marked by unity, compassion, and understanding. Each step towards forgiveness is a step towards a more harmonious world, where the lessons of history guide us to a brighter, more inclusive tomorrow.

Let us remember that forgiveness is not just an act but a profound commitment to change, to empathy, and to the recognition of our shared humanity. By embracing this path, we honour the memories of those who have suffered and demonstrate our resolve to build a world where such suffering is not repeated.

Together, we can create a tapestry of peace and resilience, woven from the threads of our shared experiences and aspirations. Let us move forward with hearts open to forgiveness, thoughts dedicated to justice, and commitment to the well-being of all.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey toward healing for your nation and its citizens. May the departed souls receive the respect they deserve and dwell in light, while those who remain find forgiveness and peace at the soul level. I appreciate your listening, and if national leaders have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected]. Vanakkam and Namaste.
