Understanding the Past

Published by

What was your favorite subject in school?

My favorite subject was history. I have always considered learning about and understanding the past to be essential. Why? Well, first, to understand the present —to know why the present we live in is as it is —and second, to be careful about how we create the future, since there is a common saying that the past is repeating itself.

To tell the truth, I’ve always been more interested in the subjects of the humanities, for example, History, Philosophy, and Literature.
