The Challenge that I face at 65 years old…
The challenge to me today is to learn and to understand the many changes in the universe and with that understanding be able to mentor a new generation, whose attitudes and cultural outlook may be different from mine – so that they understand too.
I need to show trust, mutual respect, and tolerance, if I am to find the common ground between my generation and the new one and work together to find solutions to the many and varied issues that continue to confront us. We can no longer afford to stand apart from a common effort to solve our common problems of “unpeace” and lack/little development.
Each of us needs to understand the importance of peace, reconciliation, development, and of reflection. There is the necessity to open our minds and unlock our hearts to each other. The Arabic word for this is “TADABBAR”!
