We're History

I can think back to the time when I was in high school, sitting in my history class. It was always interesting to learn about the past and what actions lead to what consequences, as that is the foundation of history that we know. Every day would be a new topic, learning about a different place or time in history. What intriguied me was that I was able to experience the emotions and feelings at a certain point in time without actually being present durring that time. I was able to learn about the hardships and wars from the confort of my own school.

Now its our time to take part in this wonderful cycle. We are a living part of history and one day, people will be sitting in their classroom learning about everything that we've been through. They will learn about the 911 terrorist attacks along with the 10 year long search for the man in charge. They will learn about the plague of deadly earthquakes that ripped through the world including Katrina and the record setting Japan. They will hear about the depression and the housing bubble burst that we are currently taking part in. They will hear it all.

History is a funny subject in that we tend to analyze the past rather than the present. It has been stated that history repeats itself and currently, that statement would be mostly true. As long as were here living, we will be a part of history for others to learn about. They will analyze us and may even point out flaws however one day, they will become a part of history as well. The cycle will continue and we will all move on.
