BK: I think we all have to start personally, individually, in our own homes and in our own hearts. My father taught the power of unconditional love and non-violence and seeing people as part of the human race - not just black or white or Asian or Latino - but as a part of the human race. And we have to find a way - not just in this nation but in this world - to see ourselves as interconnected and interrelated, and find a way to live together as brothers and sisters - or as my father said, “perish together as fools.” And one of the best ways to do that is we have to have more dialogue and discussion and it has to be honest dialogue and discussion and we have to remove a lot of the hate and hostility in the process and really talk about the different perspectives and feelings that people have as it relates to race because we have to get to the bottom of it. We continue to brush it under a rug, but we have to talk about it.
もっと対話する機会をもって、憎しみや敵意をなくしていくことが大事である、と。
日本でも同じこと。
公開の対話をして、ああ、こういう対話ができるんだ、こういう視点があるんだ、ということを、対話している人だけでなく、その観衆も理解できる機会をより多くもつべきだ、というのが私のかねてからの主張である。
残念ながら、日本で文句を言っている欧米人のほとんどが日本語ができないので対話にならない。
ソクラテスの対話の伝統の国からやってきた人たちとは到底思えない次第である。
