An excellent, thought-provoking piece, Katy. I actually wrote a lengthy comment but it seems to have gotten lost when I was trying to-read parts of your post. Shucks. I might try again tomorrow. Just so much, yes, the past, as someone we both know likes to opine, is a different country and we just have to leave it at that. Sometimes, but not always.

I am writing incidentally from Sai Gon where just yesterday I re-visited the Independence Palace and the day before the HCM City Museum. History lessons do not get much better.

You may not be wise or good because you have suffered hardships. But you are wise and good nonetheless.
