Erasing History

By -
I'm hearing a lot about erasing history recently. It's a horrible idea.

Good or bad, history is important. We can either build from it or learn from it. Erasing it removes the ability to learn or build from it.

The same people wanting to erase history are the ones trying to dig up all the mistakes from peoples history and cancel them. 

This is history being used wrong. The past is the past. Learn from it, move on. If apologies need to be made, make them! We're stuck with our history, so make the best of it. If we've made mistakes, use the history to warn people to not make them again.

Don't use history to malign people. Don't erase history that doesn't resonate with your ethos or values even.

Learn how to use history for the betterment of yourself and society.
