Beyond comprehension

What does it feel like to be scared, truly scared? To know that someone is trying to kill you – that you are the hunted? I can’t imagine what the people of Sierra Leone felt like for nearly a decade, knowing that somewhere over the hills were a people that wanted nothing more than to wipe them out. Fear is something very relative. We can only compare that gut wrenching feeling to our own experiences. What scars it must leave behind on its victims, both the perpetrators and those who feared the latters violence.
