I think the idea isn't that whatever wrong you did is justified, but more that you try to make amends for the thing as much as you can. The people we have seen go to a better place (excepting the crew) have all done something to help the greater good or someone else along. (The crew were just victims. Their unfinished business wasn't even something they could finish themselves)

Perhaps you finish your business in a not-so-nice (so to speak) way. If James' unfinished business is related to David, maybe he kills him or something, and that sends him to the worse place. It makes sense in my head, but it's all speculation and would be weird to see in action.
