Memoria de la Violencia, el Perdón y el Amor: Una Aproximación Filosófica

Abstract

The memory of a violent past and forgiveness become intertwined when seeking to heal that past, as forgiveness is presented as a redemptive and transforming element, capable of putting an end to spirals of violence. For this purpose, the past must be remembered correctly, truthfully and impartially, so that the present can be healed and the future filled with possibilities. Faced with the temptation of revenge, it is necessary to foster a love from the place in which one decides to love and forgive their enemies, which will allow those fears that gave rise to past violence to be dismantled, since in love there is no fear.
