forgive us our trespasses

forgive us our trespasses

fiction

Last week the country of Greece, which is chronically in debt and the sick member of the Euro community for financial transgressions, lashed out against thrifty Germany and decided that Germany should pay Greece 300 billion monetary units for outrageous behaviors the Nazi Germans did to Greece nearly seventy five years ago.

There needs to be a statue of limitations on such claims for Countries, Races and individuals so the world can move on and certain individuals with certain brain chemistries can move forward and not relive the muddy past endlessly.

The same goes for debts such as extinct student loans and for slights such as breaking up with a high school girl friend by phone or denting a car in a parking lot without a note as a fourteen year old.

All persons, institutions and places need a one time confessional when the diet has failed, caught peeking at the neighbors wife or copying essays and confronted with plagiarism charges.

Time to move on. Preach to the birds or sleep behind a Wal-Mart and then grant yourself redemption.

No perpetual protesting World.

The Nazi's were atrocious, the European-Americans sought to genocide the Native Americans out of contingent Progress, the Draft was wrong during the Viet Nam war, and the South was incorrect in it's position on Slavery from 1808 to 1865.

Forgive us our trespasses World.

Time to Move on. History is dead.

No perpetual protesting World. Just Be.
