When Will We Ever learn

The tempo of life has greatly diminished the pleasantries of all those yesterdays of yesteryear. The whirlwind of our existence has manifested the calamities brought on by man’s indifference to nature and man. A coordinated assault on the way of life brought about by so many wonderous technologies and scientific marvels has now been turned against the wellbeing of millions all over the world.

It is in history that the teachings of have failed to account for all the travesties that man has done to the point that our existence has not been the recipient of all the wonders that man has devised.  It can be arguably said that man creates manifestations whereby our coexistence is sharply divisive. We seem to continue to suffer the imbalances in societies caused by man’s failure to learn from our own history.

Actual facts of what happened, what was done, and why governments or individuals did what they did has been greatly compromised. An unbiased record on the actual facts as they occurred would be the one way to avoid the mistakes of our past so that future generations would be spared repeating those mistakes. Mistakes that are all too similar to those made long ago.

The blatant omissions, the distortions of certain facts and events of our past have been known to be interpaled by many as authentic. It is when we perceive these distortions and overlook the omissions that are in our teaching of history is when we will continue to repeat history time and time again.

Many in the public sector idolize certain individuals by wealth alone. And there again the silver screen has formed a symbolic following. The fascination from these clouds the rationale from the reality into fictional. And this is absorbed into the decision making of individuals whether in government or not. When will we ever learn. To right the wrongs being inflicted on man and nature requires our understanding that there are certain individuals who are steering societies for an agenda far removed from the hopes and dreams of millions the world over.
