Remembering History's Lessons

The arrogance of the amateur values present experience over remembrance. - Let me explain. We live in a culture that’s extremely arrogant. Everyone claims to be doing something that hasn’t been done before. But just because the generation before us didn’t have the access to achieve achieve the likes or the status that someone doing something dumb today can, doesn’t mean that what we are doing is revolutionary. - In fact there’s plenty of people that started a tik tok 3 months ago that now have hundreds of thousands or even millions of followers. Why? Is it because they have something revolutionary to share? Do they have a cure for cancer? Nope they just post videos of themselves dancing or doing stupid stuff. - Now I get it. I’m all for entertainment. I post pictures on the internet for a living too. Where this gets dangerous though is where we ignore the past because we think were so far away that it’s not relevant anymore. - History is HISstory and it’s still in the making. Everything builds on each other so don’t for a second think that it doesn’t. I think we often get caught up in the mentality that we are beyond history. That it’s not relevant to us. That we have to look to the future and that’s it. But history repeats itself. In order to see the future you first have to analyze the past. - On top of that. Sometimes we become ungrateful for what we’ve been given so far because again, everything builds on each other and nothing is irrelevant. - The point is, I wonder if we can for a moment, stop thinking about the present, stop thinking about the future, and focus on where we’ve come from and what Gods takes us through to get where we are right now. Gratitude goes a long way and remembering what has happened is the best way to make your present,history in the making. - Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙 - • • • • • • #hawaii #passionpassport #nakedhawaii #eclectic_shotz #earthfocus #sunset #adventureculture #nature #earthpix #neverstopexploring #stayandwander #travel #awesomeearth #旅行 #sonyalpha #soft_vision #roamtheplanet #beautifuldestinations #bestvacations #ourplanetdaily #景色 #travelstoke #自然
