This is why peace is priceless

I remember having a compendium- a book with various legal instruments such as, the Refugee Convention of 1951 and Cartagena Convention among others. After a week of listening to the “clients” I learned one thing. That “I will not need most of the legal instruments” but what I needed most was the art of listening and counselling, giving and reviving hope and eventually the power of persuading an individual with well-founded fear that “everything will be okay and “I am working on it so do not worry”. Three weeks later I learned one more thing; that I was getting used to hearing some of the problems and issues related to refugees. Thought of it for a couple of nights and learned that maybe this is why we so easily lose humanity over something because of hearing about the problems every day.
