Will history repeat itself?

It's pointless to bear grudges and bitterness towards those who have wronged us.
They will have to face their fate one day even if the laws of Man do not punish them.The Chinese have a saying," Heaven's net is inescapable,it will not let even one wrongdoer go scot free."
       In a war,the powerful have to bear responsibility as they have blood on their hands in sending youths to die for "their cause" or "ego".The unarmed civilians suffer harm and injury and loss of property and stability.
     So Jeanne Wakasuki Houston accounts of her family's internment in the second world war was suffering beyond their control.That's the price to pay for war.The same suffering would be experienced by the Jews interned in death camps in Europe.
         But the nationalistic government was proud that it was the only Asian nation that dared to wage war on a Western nation just as a militaristic govt managed to lock horns in the Russo Japanese war and the Sino Japanese war.The untold suffering on civilians was not limited to migrants of Japanese ethnicity but worst horrors befell the victims of wars in China,SouthEast Asia  and Russia.The prisoners incarcerated were released alive unlike the Jews or the Chinese killed in the Rape of Nanjing or the Koreans made into free labour and sex slaves.But people have to move on,we forgive our enemies and put the past behind us.So the Americans have helped a lot in giving aid for the reconstruction of Japan and transfer of technology have propelled it to be an economically advanced nation,the former enemies have become allies in the international economy.So too has China learnt to put the past behind and work in tandem with Korea and Japan to boost economic developments in their respective nations,thus improving the lives of multitudes of civilians and establishing an affluent middle class.
       So we the civilians have to be vigilant against the rise of ultra nationalism that aims to oppress others in the name of "national pride".It was with outrage that a nationalist Japanese went to dishonour the dead by kicking on a statue of a comfort woman in Taiwan.The victims of war are pawns in the chess of war and to vent their anger in such a manner would be equivalent to the  action of the American blogger Logan Paul making a mockery of  Japanese suicide victims at a suicide forest by making fun of them.The golden rule applies do  not do unto others what you do not like others to do to you.Respect is a two way street.Just as tourists,we should respect the local cultures and do not pose naked in public in a church or graveyard so too our sense of decency is violated when foreign visitors take nude pics at our holy sites.
       International prejudices can be reduced if we observe the golden rule of behaviour and remember for every action,there will be a reaction,whether it is a positive or negative backlash.
