Facing History

History chooses to remember her glory and her triumph; her power and her wealth.
Yet there are stories of her past we choose to forget.
Is it our fault?
Who wouldn't want to bask in the glory and strength of our great nation?
Why remember our downfalls and hardships, when we can remember what made us strong in the first place?
Is this because we take too much pride in what we've accomplished?
Or is it simply because we're only human?
Yet history repeats itself.
Sometimes we get lucky and dodge the bullet but eventually the bullet will come back at us.
The only question that will remain is will we choose to make the same mistakes as we did before?
Or will we to choose to face our history and ensure that future generations won't make the same mistake as we did?
