those who refuse to learn from the past, wants to repeat it
There's a lot to talk about in dealing with history. Some desire to remember, others desire to forget. It's not just the two sides of that desire but what it leads to. Some desire to remember to just fan the flames of long ago. Others desire to remember to learn and teach future generations of the mistakes of the past. Some desire to forget to claim innocence when the past is repeated. Some desire to forget to erase the pain of the past and move past with hope for the future.
