History; we learn about the past and how everything has worked its way up to the present and how far we have come. We take a step into the past and put ourselves into the shoes of one who has lived before we were even born. The problem I see in this is how we live in the past. We spend so much time living in the past that we no longer care about the present and future. We compare everything we’ve accomplished to the past, this lowers our standards. We think that what we’ve done is better than what we’ve done in the past, but we can do much better we can go farther and deeper. We’re only scratching the surface.
