How does dialogue change people and affect political outcomes?
When we hear each other’s “stories,” we start to expand our identification, and begin to see each other as human and equal. Seeing our oneness — and differences, as well — we begin to want the best for each other. We see that we are inextricably interrelated and interdependent — neighbors forever. If enough citizens begin to have this experience, it will make the environment fertile and right for the government peace process to go to completion.
