Seems that the famous
phrase that says time heals everything has come true with the political leader
and now writer Ingrid Betancur, who must understand that every beginning is
difficult and for this has not been the exception his foray into the letters.
I remember when I knew of
the publication of his book The rage in his heart, I felt that Ingrid was a
person with a certain cynicism and cruelty by portraying starkly some of the
social vicissitudes and policies Colombia, as if things never had solution or
if I had a bitter hatred against me, he did not know me, because I felt like
the fact of being Colombian.
And yet, every time the
FARC published images Ingrid survival rather than strong, looked terribly
stubborn in their whims, as willing to die without cause, in this case, she had
become for me a rebel causeless.
Shortly after being
released by the glorious army of Colombia, Ingrid almost insulted Colombians by
a new incident related by a symbolic compensation as she and representing about
six million of dollars. I wanted to understand that was destroyed physically,
morally, emotionally and psychologically from the trauma that his long
kidnapping was staged, but no. Still he believed that absurd insistence to
accuse an entire noble people had not cured despite much suffering.
I began to think sometimes,
or better, to imagine, with the idea of someday speak in person and tell him
admired for their courage and their offenses had no scars on my mind, that appreciated
and therefore when they first he was kidnapped as a presidential candidate, he
had voted for it. Well, from time to time I heard from her when he did some
academic or social purpose in the world.
It was a surprise when I
recently heard again by the media talking about the peace process with the
FARC. He was ready to receive severe criticism Colombians, perhaps remembering
how was heading strongly in the past. She began to talk about the process ...
excellent and something that caused me emotion, and was to hear him say that
more than a political process; it was a process from the heart of
reconciliation of all Colombians.
Then I realized that Ingrid
Betancur I had no such rage in his heart, but his love for Colombia and my
admiration was reborn.
