Humanity, as I see it, is not very evolved, no matter what may be conjectured here about moving into 4th density (my opinion only). There is a huge amount of unconsciousness, selfishness and self-centeredness, survival behaviors, etc. You can't make someone "wake up" consciously. That's why laws must still exist.
As an individual, I periodically get pulled into the drama here on 3D Earth, and that makes me "look out" resulting in feelings of blame, anger at injustice, sadness at suffering, etc. At some point I remember to "focus in." What matters is where I am at consciously, because that is my responsibility. Also, what is in my path I see as an opportunity to be of service aside from the services I choose.
I personally have not found that I need anyone to admit to anything so I can forgive them. Even heinous things. To me, it's not about forgiveness (and I know I am rocking the collective boat here), it's about letting go. That is not to say most of humanity operates the way I do. Having an abusive parent admit and apologize to his/her children, does not remove the pain of what happened, though it might satisfy some feelings of injustice or revenge (which does speak to a balancing of a kind). What really matters is letting go of the attachment to it, and that must be done within self. Just as the person who apologizes must have gotten within self to the point of really understanding and feeling the impact of his/her choices, or the apology is empty or forced.
The abusive parent has a history—maybe they were abused, and their parents were abused, or unjust things happened to them. So who is there to blame? Where does one point the finger?
What if the U.S. government apologized for the massive corruption, which has impacted its citizens in more ways that can even be imagined? People in poverty not having even basic necessities while bloated politicians fill their pockets, for example. Would an apology solve anything? If there was a forced balancing, such as laws that protect against such corruption which actually worked, then the victims would at least be able to live decent lives with basic needs. But that action, though it helps, would not eliminate the desire to take, act with corruption, or the climb-to-the-top-of-the-pile-by-stepping-on-others mentality from the heart of humanity. We see this absolutely with racism. We have laws to protect against racism, but it still exists in the heart of humanity, and so it is with gender bias.
This is why it goes back to self, for me. It's two-fold: what is my reaction which I'm accountable for; and what energies am I creating and emanating out to existence.
