Thoughts On The Past
Thoughts On The Past
History has much to teach us if we only learn the good lessons it offers. Unfortunately, we do not learn those good lessons. Instead, we keep repeating the same mistakes, never moving forward. As we take one step forward, we often move one step or more backwards, never moving at all except technologically and scientifically.
This book, Thoughts on the Past, explores many lessons history teaches us using examples from the distant and not-so-distant past, such as the Spanish Flu and COVID-19 pandemics. Many lessons are also expressed with proverbs, or wise sayings that have resulted from the lessons of history, many taken from Jamaican proverbs. Thoughts on the Past explains through the eyes of the soul why history repeats itself and will continue to do so for the future. It explains why all events in history, good or bad, belong to all of us and why no one group can claim that it has contributed more to history or civilization than another.
Thoughts on the Past covers the Lucifer Syndrome and the masks around which we create hate, wars, conflict, suffering, and victimhood; supremacist ideology and practices; the strange bedfellow phenomenon; and civilization versus greatness. Thoughts on the Past is a Mobius strip, a swirling vortex, a rich voyage through different events in history throughout the world.
