RE: Does history suck?

History doesn’t suck, period

In school, we were taught a phrase that said: ... Who does not know his history is doomed to repeat it ... and it couldn’t be more true.

As for personal history, I don’t have much yet 😅, but when I look back and learn from what I did wrong, I see myself acting differently now. So, looking back is essential for growth and moving forward I think 😁

Yep, that's a rather popular quote on history. I was going to use it in my post but decided it was too obvious so didn't. Glad you mentioned it though.

You've got a lifetime of personal history, just a short lifetime is all; just don't make the mistake of ignoring it.

I must say that I missed not seeing a phrase at the beginning

I like those phrases; they serve as a summary of the text but set the right mood to read it. It's like a Galen's watermark 😁
