Abstract

Oprostiti nije lako pogotovo ako govorimo oprostu koji se dogodio i koji se i danas događa u Ruandi, afričkoj zemlji koja je 1994. godine pogođena strahovitim zločinom – genocidom. U njemu je ubijeno otprilike milijun ljudi, a bio je bitka za političku moć u zemlji. U toj bitci sudjelovali su vlada predsjednika Juvenala Habyarimane, sastavljena od predstavnika Hutu zajednice, te Ruandska domoljubna fronta (RPF), većinom od pripadnika Tutsi zajednice. Mnogi će reći da je to najveći genocid nakon Drugog svjetskog rata kojim je izbrisan cijeli jedan entitet. Pripadnici naroda Hutu počeli su masovno ubijati Tutse. Nažalost, čak ni činjenica da neke od njih veže obiteljska spona, Hutu pripadnici nisu prezali pred mnogobrojnim ubojstvima. Usprkos tomu što dogodio stravičan zločin, nakon nekog vremena nekolicina ljudi koji su uspjeli preživjeti okrenuli su se oprostu. Oprostu ubojicama svojih obitelji i prijatelja. Upravo je oprost kao alat za utemeljenje duhovnog mira tema ovog rada u kojem će biti razloženo kolika je snaga oprosta te koliku oprost ulogu ima u napretku i obnavljanju uobičajenog funkcioniranja i življenja na području Ruande. Također, u radu će biti spomenuto stanje Ruande prije i nakon građanskog rata koji se dogodio. Oprostiti nije lako, to je umijeće čija se tajna ogleda u shvaćanju kako se oproštenje ne može svesti na moralnu dužnost ili čin volje zbog toga što ono mora uključivati sve dimenzije ljudskog postojanja. Upravo zato je oprost alat za duhovno utemeljenje mira.

Abstract (english)

Forgiveness is not easy especially if we speak of the amnesty that happened and that still happens in Rwanda, an African country that was hit by a terrible crime – genocide in 1994. About one million people was killed in a battle for political power in the country. The battle was attended by the government of President Juvenal Habyariman, composed of representatives of the Hutu community and the Rwandan patriotic front (RPF), most of whom belong to the Tutsi community. Many may say that this is the biggest genocide since World War II in which is erased an entire entity. Members of the Hutu community began to mass killing Tutsi people. Unfortunately, even the fact that some of them were connected by a familiy bond didn't stopped Hutu people in commiting a numerous murders. Despite the horrible crime, after a while few people who managed to survive turned to forgiveness. Forgiveness to the murderers of theit families and friends. It is precisely that forgiveness is a tool for establishing spiritual peace, which is the subject of this work. Also, the strenght of forgiveness is discussed and the role of forgiveness in the progress and renewal of normal functionig and living in the Rwandan area. In addition to that, in this work will be mentioned the state of Rwanda before and after the civil war that took place. Forgiveness is not easy, it is a skill whose secret is reflected in understanding that it cannot be reduced to moral duty or act of will because it must include all dimension of human existance. This is precisely why forgivenes is a tool for the spiritual esablishment of peace.
