Thank You to the Past
Morning Reading for October 20
The easiest reason to thank the past is because we’re here.
Looking around, it’s also the easiest reason to be upset with the past. They’ve made a muck of it. Pitched centuries of issues over the fence into the modern day, leaving us on the hook to save the economy, the country, and the planet, not even to mention saving each other.
But in face of those issues the past has given us a great gift: armed with context of what has happened, graced with the full scope of human knowledge before, and still holding the steel of optimism close to their bellies.
The past has given us all of our problems, but it’s also gifted us with you.
What will we give the future?
Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
