Enhance Modernity, Reclaim Tradition

Dawn and Twilight bed by Emile Galle

history is not all that great. but it's some thing to be no. 1: cherished, because we wouldn't be here without it, no. 2: learned from, so we can get wisdom from the many fricked-up things we have done, and no. 3: remembered, which is the most important, because yes, our leaders sucked and were not who we are taught they were, our nations are not the picture of patriotism they are so often depicted as, citizens are not always happy or treated fairly, but at the same time we have shown the world that leaders, as much as they have brought nations down, have often times brought it to staggering heights, and different nationalities show just how different we all are and at the same time just like each other. if we're aggrieved citizens, we can unite, and in our unity many find hope and family and love and redemption. we'll never be perfect; we're wrecks, history is painfully obvious in that, but that doesn't mean there's no goodness here, because there is.
