Best Posts in Thread: You can't change history

Was you posting about statue toppling and slavery?

I think it is essential we search the past to give people an awareness of what terrible things happened and to strive to eliminate those from the future.

 

With so many protests going on around the world in the present day, I find it hard to understand why present day people want to try to eradicate history.
The past is in the past and I can agree that somethings were indeed atrocious, but why not leave them where they belong as past history.
If we in this day and age can only refect on the past, what chance have we of changing the world for the better in the future?
This world pandemic we are experiencing has forced us to look new ways to operate as a society and we will never go back to what was the normal way of living in our major cities around the world pre-pandemic.
Already there is talk of greener spaces within cities where office blocks that will be surplus to requirements are replaced with parks and open spaces, as more people and companies improvise new ways to continue business as usual in the future.
Lets all look with a positive attitude towards the future and leave history as it is.
