"The only source of knowledge is experience" Albert Einstein
I have faith in Cambodia because of what they've been through. I read about the Khmer Rouge, and it was scary, frightening, and sad, but it filled me with hope. S21 prison was frightening for me, because people went in and never came out. It's as if they fell into a black hole, no matter how hard you try to get out, it always has a grip on you. This is how I think of S21. The Killing Fields are one of the saddest parts of Cambodia's history. When reading about this, I felt helpless because there is nothing that I could have done. Just trying imagining what these people had to go through is unimaginable. The man that started it all was Pol Pot. He had no limits, which scared me. He killed whoever opposed him. Cambodia has been through a lot and has gained valuable experiences. Through all of this tragedy, they are able to learn from their past.
