More on the same:The Desire To Control Others Is The Signal Pathology Of The Wicked
History is an incredible predictor of future events, but it is generally unknown or more often misunderstood. Cinco de Mayo is indicative of this misunderstanding. A lot of Americans think it is the Mexican independence day, but it's not. Cinco de Mayo is the celebration of the victory over the French Navy that arrived to collect the money owed to France, Britain and Spain. The French troops fought a battle in the city of Puebla, where they lost, providing Mexico a cause for celebration, if short-lived.
Today, we hear of the U.S. and China arguing over money owed in one way or another, to one or the other. A lot of things can start a war, most often it is money. The rise of Hitler was due to the demand for reparations for World War I, when Germany was broke, suffering from a depression and still those owed would not give a reprieve. The resentment caused by this allowed Hitler to build an army.
Millions of Americans are losing their livelihoods complying with stay-at-home orders.

The teaching of non-Revisionist history (historical revisionism is the re-interpretation of historical accounts) should be part of every curriculum throughout every school and university in the land.
ReplyDeleteAs each generation passes, the record of their times must not pass with them into oblivion. Young people should be able to feel and understand the burdens, the mistakes and the achievements that their predecessors dealt with.
Faced as they will be with their own challenges, they will then come upon them hopefully equipped with some in-depth knowledge of the successes and failures of the past. To replicate the former and dodge the latter will be a passport into their, hopefully, better future.
I say this because the older I get the more acute becomes a sense of my own mortality. This is perfectly normal and inevitable. I have found that understanding and accepting this eases or eliminates any innate fears and frees the mind to look into the future with a much broader and far less selfish perspective.
Conclusion: The prime function of each generation is to prepare the next for the trials and tribulations they will most certainly face. That is the reality of life for a sentient species and it must not be evaded, misrepresented or understated, but if it is it will be the following younger generations who will pay the ultimate price – life is hard and now becoming harder and they will not grow old to teach the next.
No doubt the current indoctrinated and benighted snowflake-safe space generation will be the first to fall; perhaps that is the ultimate objective of their tutors. It is very easy to fall into slavery of the mind or body, or both, but damned hard, sometimes impossible, to escape it.

DeleteSnowfakes were cheated from learning how to fail because of participation awards. Its hard enough in life to learn lessons as one grow. That why we old folks never make the same mistakes and wish we had listen to our elders more.
