"Think of where we would be and what we could accomplish were we to simply listen to the lost voice of history that desperately struggles to not have to repeat itself." This statement if followed through would advance society so far along it could not possibly keep up with itself. We continually reinvent the wheel thinking this time we have a better answer.
Having empathy for all will go a long way to improving our interactions with all of society.
Loved your thinking in this post!
