When one clench a stone in the hand and don't let it go, one will not be able to grab something new, something worthwhile holding.

When one let go of his old stone, then one is free to hold gems, food, friendship.

  The Germans has let go of the "hot potato" they hold on their hands many years ago.
  
  Now the Germans is holding gems - friendships, powerful Economy, respect and pride and influence - once they have dump their "old baggages" whish is a hot potato.

  In this respect, Germans are hero - who is able to face up to reality and history squarely and honestly - winning respect from the World Community.
  
  Being apologetic for past wrong and bravely take full responsibility for past wrong - so that others will forgive and forget - is a Wise move - and is not view as being a loser.
  
  Being Human - errs.
  But able to live up to past mistake -and bravely face it - is Heroic.
