Let's try this: You answer my question(s) and then pose your own.

Never mind, that never works; I'll just answer yours:

It depends on the context in which it is presented. For instance if someone were to say you owe me because your ancestors killed my ancestors I would tell them it is a terrible blight on history and man were influenced by an evil mad-man, but I do not owe you anything and it is your choice if you want to dwell on it, just understand that your point of view is rearward focused instead of forward focused.
