I'm not sure that the case for being mindful only to those who suffer because of an ancient crime from which you benefit and not towards those who suffer for other reasons is strong.
I rather focus on the people who suffer and how to alleviate suffering than go to much into the historical background of why they might suffer.
and not towards those who suffer for other reasons
I didn't say or imply that.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
