Ghosts of the Past

Sometimes, as much as I try to remember that people are not responsible for the sins of their forefathers, specifically war crimes, it's still hard because when you really try to face the reality of what they had done, as a people, sometimes you can't help but feel that someone has to pay. Perhaps all the right people have already paid, and I want to pray that somehow all those who suffered and who were made to suffer are now in heaven with our Lord and Father. It's just very painful to think about all the needless suffering that the people of Nanking went through, and all the evil that manifested in the soldiers of the Japanese. I cannot feel that I hate the Japanese, because those who live now did not choose as their forefathers did. How then, can I feel?
