Why is history so important ?

History is a way for us to peer back in time. By doing so we can learn a lot about ourselves. We can assess our growth and potential as human beings. We can also see where we went wrong.  

We need to understand human behaviors so we don't repeat the same mistakes our ancestors made.   History is not just stories. It is an account of how we as human behave under certain scenarios.  When you look at any historic event at the core, you are looking at series of actions undertaken by human actors.  

And despite all the advances in technologies and socio-politics, we really haven't changed that much, even compared to people from thousands of years ago. Our brains function largely the same, our physiology remained the same, and our instincts remained the same.  

There won't be a second Hitler/Stalin because we learnt that what could happen if we allow such monstrosity to rule our countries. Most countries participated in the nuclear non-proliferation treaty because from history we know the devastation of nuclear weapons and what it can do to civilizations. We stopped using ozone depletion substances to fuel our fridges because from history showed what can happen to our earth if we allow such substance to produced and released on a global scale.

The list goes on...
