Question

As someone had mentioned, history is doomed to repeat itself. Hmmm... that would put up a most interesting field of speculation. So, are you saying we may as well fall back into the Dark Ages, where all knowledge of our past is lost??? But I may assure that some schools focus much on the Math/Science category. At our school, they have honours classes for the eager and the knowledged to keep them from falling behind to lower levels of study. Unfortunately, we do not have this for History.Quoting from a poet from the Renaissance times: "The love of history drives away the Dark, the interest in it brings back the light." This was, of course, reffering to the period of the Dark Age and the Black Death. However, afterwards, on a brighter note, periods of learning and advancement came along.

Unfortunately, as I think more of this topic, that if we are forgetting our own history, is it not then, that we are repeating history? Will we perhaps fall back into Dark Ages and weep and mourn for our loss? Then wait years, perhaps hundreds of years, before a wise man finds a picture of our history and works to bring it back? Will that happen to the human race?

(Sorry if I'm not quite so perky at the ending... whoa, I never thought I could think of history like this! And I'm quite young. Don't give up on us yet Birdland!)
