I happened to watch Priyanka Gandhi's extensive interview on NDTV with Barkha Dutt. I consider it to be one of the best interviews I ve ever viewed. I dont mean politics!!!!!!
When asked about her fathers assasination and her meeting with Nalani the assasin, Priyanka says when she first heard about her father's death, she was bitter inside and furious with the entire world, but as years passed by her feelings changed. She ended her statement by saying
" Nalini suffered too"
Barkha's Question - " When did you learn to recognize that rage?"
Priyanka Gandhi - " It was a very slow process. It was realizing that you're angry. I think at some level, we all consider ourselves victims.But the minute you realise that you're not a victim and that the other person is as much a victim of that same circumstance as you, then you can't put yourself in a position where you are anyone to forgive someone else. Because your victimhood has disappeared. And to me, people ask about non-violence, I think true non-violence is the absence of victimhood. The sense that somebody else is doing harm to you. Whatever is happening to you is happening because of your own circumstances, you are creating a lot of that suffering. And anybody else who does something overtly, like kill somebody you love, or hurts you, beats you, that is also an action that is happening because of their suffering.”
I was touched by the statements Priyanka made....Moral of the Story is every single person whether good or bad teaches you Something !!!!!!
