The book ends very strong, asking us the question,” what is
history all about?”, of course we discussed last week about those who forget
the past are doomed to repeat it, but at the same time those who fail to know
the past are doomed to know if they are affected by the same thing that
happened in the past. It’s great
to look to the past for answers as if to put us in the shoes of our ancestors
and wonder how would they respond to a conflict or to even just remember what
they went through in order for us to be here today.
Many great thinkers of the past have justified why we looked
to the past for answers, but in no way should we always look to the past for
answers, it should be a way for us to figure it out and then apply that
knowledge to our existing knowledge and then make an informed decision.
All in all, history will always be there for us, good or bad
everything we need to know is right there and available.
