You can't get reconciliation between the powerful and powerless unless you disempower the powerful.

About This Quote

If you want to get reconciliation between the powerful and powerless, you have to lower the power of the powerful. For example, in South Africa, in order to get reconciliation between the white and black in Apartheid South Africa, Nelson Mandela had to give up power. He was forced to give up all of his powers in order for real reconciliation to take place.
