History Lesson

In high school, history was boring. I didn't care about names, events and dates from so long ago.  What could that possibly have to do with me now?  Well, as I matured, I've learned just how important knowing the events of the past are to my current life experience.
Knowing the past, allows me to be informed of methods that worked, failed or at the very least, were attempted. Since time and people move in cycles, it seems that we are destined to repeat similar scenarios, until we figure out the healthy way of handling them, ie. conflicts, wars, treatment of others and religious/spiritual truths. The past can tell a lot about where we have been and where we are headed.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"You can only be prepared for the future by reviewing the experiences of the past." tc
