History

"History is bunk." Henry Ford

Why study history?

We haven't learned anything from it.

Man's increased ability to 

control his environment, what some call

"progress", has only led to it's destruction.

Human's have already evolved beyond

their animal nature, their base instinct...

otherwise, Buddha, (Christ if you like), 

would never have  happened.  So, some 

humans, through their own effort, have 

woken to true humanity. Most, taking 

the well traveled rut, fall into their animal 

default status and rely on sheer instinct to 

survive, having no moral compass....

which trend is increasing. The best humans 

have achieved is still evident in some individuals. 

The worst, which have always been around, 

are not only still evident but are increasing as 

survival of the species comes more into question.

"The best lack all conviction, while the worst

are full of passionate intensity."  

Yeats  "The Second Coming."
