“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” — Søren Kierkegaard.

If you think of the magnitude of the words of 19th Century Theologian Søren Kierkegaard, they offer a simplistic solution to a complex issue. We must live forward, but we should understand the past to be able to impact the future. The events that have unfolded in our country over the past twelve months serve as a reminder of a past that we need to consider to be able to work effectively with equality for all in the future.
