- Reconciliation is a national decision that has to be debated and a consensus made among Colombians. Reconciliation is a decision that you take in your heart. If there is not this kind of approach, there is always the impression that you have done a bad deal, that the other side is having a better deal than you have - unless you understand that you are the generation that has to stop the fight. And stopping the fight is accepting not to fight back.
