Mojo,
I really think it's a delicate balancing act.
In otherwords, letting go while still remembering.
Back to the point of the post: Slavery.
Those alive today are roughly two to four generations removed from slavery, yet the way some get worked up over it (especially with reparations), you would think that massa sold their baby last week.
We should remember so that we don't repeat the mistakes, but we should not embrace the hurt of long past generations as our own.
That is what is happening in the middle east and the major reason IMO why they cannot seem to find lasting peace.
