In the film ‘Yi Yi’, by the Taiwanese director Edward Yang, a child asks his father if, given that we can’t see our own backs, we only know half the truth. There are many things we only know ‘by halves’. Our capacity is limited, our interest is relative or, simply, the information we have is biased or distorted. For this reason communication is the opportunity for us to help each other to complete the picture of the other half that is forbidden to us, because sharing is not just healthy but indispensable. We do not exist in solitude. We are fully human only in communication.

As I began, it all seemed so simple. As I got to the end, I knew that I had nothing but questions. I think I can do little to contribute to a discussion that for many of you is at the very heart of your living experience and of your work. But this is an important subject; one that is crucial if we hope to live in a world that is at peace with itself.
Charles Villa-Vicencio
We are not human. At best we need to continue to struggle to be human, which is a daily battle. If we relax for a moment we can become the worst kind of perpetrators. Perhaps we all have that capacity. Jean-Jacques Badibanga.1
