John Lennon Day
John Lennon's Widow Calls for Healing
|
NEW YORK (AP) - Yoko Ono is calling for the anniversary of the death of her husband, John Lennon, to become a day of worldwide healing.
In a full-page advertisement appearing in Sunday editions of The New York Times, Ono urges readers to mark the anniversary by apologizing to those who have suffered because of violence and war.
"Every year, let's make December 8th the day to ask for forgiveness from those who suffered the insufferable," writes the former Beatle's widow, who signs the letter Yoko Ono Lennon.
Ono urges readers to take responsibility for failing to intervene on behalf of victims around the world.
"Know that the physical and mental abuse you have endured will have a lingering effect on our society," she writes in a portion of the letter directed to victims. "Know that the burden is ours."
"Let's wish strongly that one day we will be able to say that we healed ourselves, and by healing ourselves, we healed the world."
