How to change a mind

How to change a mind
This is a great video I found that I wanted to share.

This man tells the story of how he became a Neo-Nazi, and how he left the movement.  He goes on to tell how he helps others to leave radical organizations.






It's a very moving story, and I think his conclusion could apply to so many things in life.  Certainly, there are people who cannot be saved from their own hatred, but there are so many who can!  And telling them how stupid and wrong they are is not ever, ever, ever going to change a mind.

This also goes to show how important education, exposure to other cultures, lifestyles, and peoples really is.
