July 2024 Part 8: If we do not reflect on the mistakes of history, we will repeat them.
Let's study history. And let's acquire the ability to read its essence. History is often written with lies, assumptions, and prejudices. It is rewritten to suit the victors of wars and those in power at the time.
First of all, be prepared to accept that history contains a fair amount of lies. Also, study history as if you were solving a mystery. Don't jump to simplistic and simplistic answers.
The people who wrote history may have biased ideas. The history book may have been written to guide the readers towards a certain idea. When reading a history book, you should pay close attention to what kind of person wrote it, what position they took, and what ideas they had.
Let's discover the true nature of "the mistakes of history." Let's sort out the complicated intertwining of surface phenomena and explore the true nature behind them.
Let's think about what we know and can learn from "historical mistakes." And let's think about whether we can use what we've learned to avoid "historical mistakes."
One of the purposes of studying history is to avoid repeating historical mistakes. Let us humbly reflect on how we should think and what we can do to avoid repeating historical mistakes. Fools repeat historical mistakes. Those with wisdom can avoid historical mistakes.
