VALUE OF HISTORY

I took my time this morning thinking how far humanity have gone, how HISTORY has made everything easy for this century and even the next, how HISTORY has nurtures our personal identity in an intercultural world, I saw how HISTORY enables people to discover their own place in the stories of their families, communities and nation. They learn the stories of the many individuals and groups that have come before them and shaped the world in which they live. Sometimes HISTORY can be painful and sometimes it is not, in it there are stories of freedom and equality, injustice and struggle, loss and achievement, courage and triumph. Through these varied stories they create systems of personal values that guide their approach to life and relationship with others.
