One thing that I would like to get across is that even the most horrible events do have explanations that we can understand. And it's not always comfortable for us to understand, because in order to understand, we have to see how we're not so far away from the people in question.
This quote underscores the importance of empathy and understanding with regard to human actions, even in the face of appalling events. Acknowledging that we can seek explanations does not mean excusing these acts, but rather recognizing our shared humanity and the complexities behind people's behaviors. Confronting uncomfortable truths can lead to deeper insight and perhaps, ultimately, better solutions. It challenges us to confront our own biases and assumptions, fostering compassion rather than division. The path to healing often begins with understanding, even when that understanding is difficult or uncomfortable.
