“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” – George Santayana
Only a person who enjoys self-flagellation would
dwell on the past. As humans, we prefer to remember happy times. The laugh
of a child, a soothing word from a parent, or the first declaration of love
from our mate.
We hold these memories close and cherish them daily.
But to paraphrase Mr. Santayana, to ignore the past puts those
children, our spouse, our mothers and fathers in danger.
Our enemy once said, ‘You have the watches. We have the time’.
Never forget.

Absolutely. I was swimming laps at my college pool when all of this happened. Imagine the shock when I went back to my apartment.
Amen !!!
