Disingenuously complaining about your lot — let’s call it “[[humblegriping]]” — is a dark inversion of [[Humblebraggadocio|humblebragging]]. No more edifying, and so much more of a downer. Tiresome though he is, you rarely hear the humblebragger droning on about his lived experience. | Disingenuously complaining about your lot — let’s call it “[[humblegriping]]” — is a dark inversion of [[Humblebraggadocio|humblebragging]].

“Historical guilt” is not a finite commodity. The reparations the present makes to the past can never be full and final. We cannot change the past, only compensate for it, and no one has ''locus standi'' to bind all representatives of those who are no longer here. For each descendant who settles, another will arise to later say “The people with whom you settled didn’t speak for me”. | |||
