When the day comes in which history is considered irrelevant, we will have lost our future.
And when the day comes in which I consider my own memories are more important than our history, I will have lost my future.
Separation of "me" from the world is a basic requirement when considering my own importance.
BUT,,, what makes us human and good is that we do NOT separate anyone but ourselves from the world. We INCLUDE each person as an important piece of the whole. As Dunn said "Any mans death diminishes me....." We are each, "a piece of the continent. A part of the whole."
So of course a civilization is judged by how it treats it’s children and it’s elderly. Those most easily excluded, those most easily carved away from the whole.
