Some people complain the I dwell too much on the past. Screw that. Some of us learned a lot as we grew. Some of the things we learned were good. Some were bad. The past is where we learned our lessons in life. It is where we developed the character and person we are today. Then there are people who run away from their past. I don't know if it is because there was so much pain or that the past is something they are ashamed of. It doesn't matter. That is their past and they are to deal with it as they see fit. To each his/her own. If I share a learned lesson so that someone else doesn't have to learn the hard way I see value in that.
One of the biggest problems we have as a society today is that we do not study history. The lack of knowledge and the lack of the understanding of history forces us to make the same mistakes over and over again. History should give us guidance and evidence that a particular action or policy is wrong or will not work. Look at the word. History. What does it mean to you?
