Amazing people around the world are committed to preserving history, no matter where it is. Take the Parthenon for example, nearly destroyed multiple times over thousands of years it still stands today because people are passionate about the history behind it, and the marvel of human ingenuity.

Forgetting where your root’s lay is not something that should be taken lightly. Whether good or bad, history teaches us lessons from the past and equips us for the future.

 

“Employ your time in improving yourself by other men’s writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for.”
