Because you didn’t want to acknowledge, that WRONGDOING had occurred, because you think, that if you pretend it’d never really happened, it never had.
Denying what happened in history, because you wanted to keep believing, what you did in the past was right, when it actually wasn’t, and, there’s NO way you’ll EVER find peace, inside that GUILTY conscience of yours again.
Denying what happened in history, because you couldn’t COPE with what had happened to someone else, perhaps, because you had a hand in it? Or maybe, you could’ve done SOMETHING, to STOP someone from dying? Who knows. None of that matters now, because you’d survived, and, you are now, living, with the GUILT of what you did, or didn’t do.
Denying what happened in history, there’s NO denying, even IF it wasn’t recorded in those history books out there, you KNEW what happened back then, and you still kept your mouths SHUT, and that, is why, you’re now, being haunted………
