Choose Your Own History

Bad things have happened. We learn from the past and move, on, but these things should never be forgotten. If everyone did everything correctly then there wouldn’t be any conflict anyway. But what exactly do we pass down to our future generations? We can’t leave them a gap and say that everything was fine. They need to know that their ancestors suffered so that they can enjoy the freedoms that we have today. But they can’t learn it all so what do you omit? And if we go back and explain that was acceptable then but it isn’t now then how do we explain the societal problems that we have now? There were people who committed what believed to be noble actions in the past which today would be regarded as outrageous, but equally we need to fix our own societal problems before we can label a period as ‘the bad times’.
