We all think we know what is to be humane until we are challenged. Once we are pushed out of the comfort of our civilised armchairs, our behaviour can be one of hatred, division, violence and the demonisation of our enemies – it can happen in Mong Kok or Syria, on a university campus or in a war-zone. If peace isn’t radical, our humanity will never attain it under pressure. But how far would you go to seek reconciliation and peace with your enemies?
