It Matters

What shapes the future? Why does it matter? Some people think it is shaped by fate. I believe history and the decisions we have made in the past shape our future. When we look back on our past we can see reflections of the present and foreshadowing of what the future will hold. If we did not have any history to look back on then we would not be able to progress and evolve as individuals or as a society. Anthropologically history is what unites us together through experiences. Next time you slow down and ponder the present think about where you would be if it had not been for history. Then ask your self why history matters.
