Should I bear a grudge toward Italians?
)
October 5th, 2010
A recent thread made me consider this question.
My ancestors came from an area of Europe that Julius Ceasar conquered in the Gallic wars a century BC.
I assume that some of my ancestors, or their friends, were crucified or enslaved since that was the Roman way.
I know that was a long time ago, but should I be upset about that? Shouldn’t I harbor some resentment toward Italians?
Let’s face it, lots of people on earth are upset about something that happened to their ancestors. Maybe I should be too.
Am I missing something?
Should I hate Italians?
Am I being weak for not seeking (long overdue) justice?
