So here’s a quote from a Congolese gang rape victim being interviewed by Ted Koppel of Dateline in response to the question, “Why can you be so candid with me in sharing your very personal story” – after she talked about the diseases she received and losing her family and kids as a result of the experience.
“You can have secrets if you haven’t had hardship.”
Makes me think about my own personal hardships (and secrets) a little differently.
