It's ok I think to feel disgusted or horrified by the history of your country but YOU should NOT feel guilty. It DOES take caring people like you to help build bridges and change hearts. And for as badly as you feel for things your predecessors have done...I truly believe the children and grandchildren of people like you (who genuinely wish for change and true humanity) will look back with pride on the ones who made those changes possible both initially and ongoing.

Go easy on yourself!

Peace,

Thanks for your reply. You said some things that made me feel good about myself. I appreciate it very much. I should be proud of myself as a person and keep on helping with charities etc in this country. That makes me feel good and it helps the disadvantaged and poor. Peace!
Thanks for this!
