Enduring Legacies and Obligation
I agree about this idea, that those who benefited from it should be held responsible. It would be something like, for example, a few friend and you get caught for running in a hall. A few of your friends steak away right as you get into trouble and the teacher never knows. Is that fair or justified? Most people would answer no and a version of this story is in a way true for what happened in Chile and other places around the world. Justice plays a role along with forgiveness. Justice connects to forgiveness because now they are justified to ask for forgiveness. Because Chile's civilians that should be held accountable and should ask for forgiveness, but didn't, then the country of Chile's citizens fall out of the President's universe of obligation because she endured and experienced what they did to PiƱera. All people who were part of the coup are out and vice versa. I say that because how could you like someone who is trying to hurt you and kill you or your family/friends? Those people that were gaining from your suffering and not helping to stop your suffering wouldn't be in your Universe obviously.
