An open letter to humanity

A message of hope and unity
by Cara Caponi (Peru '08)


Peace be with you, sisters and brothers.

For that is what we are, sisters and brothers. We shall disagree and misunderstand, but shall live with the knowledge that our lives are made richer by the others' existence. When I look into your face, I need to see my own, regardless of the reflection that usually meets my gaze from the mirror. You are responsible for me and I am responsible for you.

Together we shall not fall.Together we shall not hunger.Together we shall illuminate what is beautiful in this world.Together we shall face death and evil and injustice and poverty and all the "-isms" that have polluted our lexicon. Through our combined faith, hope, and respect we shall prove once and for all where true power lies.

To join me, you must know me. I have a name.I have a story.I have hopes and dreams and aspirations.I have a family.I have a social context. There are reasons to explain who and how I am. Perhaps you are more closely connected to me than you thought, and I to you. Tell me who you are and how that person was shaped.

Let us be creative. Let us approach the future with humility and trust. Let us hope to the point of navet. Let us be firm in our convictions. Let us be quick to forgive and slow to judge.

Let us feel the personal responsibility of each child that dies today from malnutrition, of each bomb that is dropped by a drone, of each mother or father who, try as they may, can't make ends meet, of each person who is forgotten in their old age and left to die alone, of each refugee denied the protection they deserve, of eachperson who falls asleep and wakes up cold. Let it settle into your bones.

Then, take my handand let's do something about it.

In peace,
Cara
