Kedar JoshiHistory is orphan. It can speak, but cannot hear. It can give, but cannot take. Its wounds and tragedies can be read and known, but cannot be avoided or cured.
About This Quote
The concept of history can be quite dark. The idea that the past is not to be avoided or forgotten, but rather, to be examined and learned from is a powerful one. When we learn from history, we keep learning for as long as we live. In the same way, the study of history can be inspiring and life-changing.
As a country, we have been through many great wars, many great times of peace, and many great times of sorrow. Through these experiences, we have learned a lot about ourselves and how we work together. We have become a better nation through learning from our past and will continue to grow as a country as long as we learn from our past.
