People forget history nowadays, he lamented, that is what the ego does, making one the prisoner of one's inflated present, ignoring the humble past one has lived.

About This Quote

When the poet Henry David Thoreau said, “People forget history nowadays, he lamented, that is what the ego does, making one the prisoner of one’s inflated present, ignoring the humble past one has lived.” In this quote, Thoreau was speaking about how we forget about our past and how we don’t focus on the hard work we put in. We live in a world of entitlement and we believe that because we already have it that we don’t need to work for anything else. Thoreau mentioned that we should learn from our past and appreciate our humble beginnings.
