- scotty79 4y agoIt was an analogy. Person committing murder is analogy for country commiting atrocities. If country doesn't accept having committed attrocities into their culture, education and history through and through, there's no hope for it to ever be forgiven let alone forgotten.
- em-bee 4y agoi have traveled through many countries and found this attitude to be extremely rare. most are easy to blame others for atrocities committed against them but extremely few were willing to admit their own atrocities against others. germany is strongly condemning their own past so i guess this comes close. new zealanders feel some guilt about their treatment of the maori, and in other countries i came across the occasional critic, but only because the FOSS community tends to attract them. but general acceptance is almost nowhere to be found.
- scotty79 4y agoYes, it's only human to resist thoroughly admitting fault and being faulty. But it's the only path to forgiveness.
