Greetings, I do believe that many people on this list don't read real well. I did say I was in favor of colonizing the stars, not the colonizing that happened in past history and is happening today by the corporate world.
I do find good in many bad situations. Do I wish that certain changes had come about in a more humane manner, of course. Part of getting over hatred is seeing that even though you hated a situation, some personal good came from it. Hatred is bad for the person who hates, not the person who is hated. By distancing and looking for good, one can overcome hatred of even a whole race. To say that by finding good in a situation that you condoned the original sin is nonsense. That would be like saying a black person who looking at the situation in Africa and counting his blessings that his family is in America, condoned the slavery that brought his family to America. Taking a balance view and learning to not hate for the past by finding good in it should not be the antithesis to a sustainable world. To build a sustainable world, we need to fight current evil yes, but we also need to forgive and forget the past so we can live in peace, not hundreds of years of fighting.
