In Hawaii, “being silent” and/or “forgetting” has often been considered as a virtue; and we often thought it is (always) aloha.
But, we haven’t sometimes realized that those manipulators (e.g. Media and Status Quo) might have misused the term and played victims, especially when they have done something wrong.
“Forgiving” can (should) be Aloha.
But, we often don’t realize such frequent forgiving without much resolution may lead to “repeated” and “continuous” injustice, as much as our deteriorated self-esteem or emotional health.
We (may) need to break such chains of misconception, especially for future of Hawaii and next coming generations.
Aloha.
