Are refugees, in our society so rich and privileged, so confident, so proud of its sense of hospitality, not a means of mutual conversion ?

Are refugees not the messengers of our post-modern times, the new prophets who cry in the wilderness, inviting us to change our attitudes ?

Is it not important to let ourselves be affected by the coming of the men and women who tomorrow could welcome us or welcome our children, if we were to flee from our damaged, bankrupt society ?

Or maybe by choosing our "hospitality", our "solidarity", we come to want to meet their expectations, their hopes.

Our view on migration would then be transformed into a free act, that of letting ourselves be touched, of not judging too quickly: by freeing ourselves from the need to judge these "foreigners", these "refugees", we would reduce our fear of being judged one day! We do not have to show "our superiority," but just recognize ourselves as being alike.
