Never Look Back.....I Disagree

It has been said, one must never look back, move on, push toward the future. Yesterday is gone, old news so to speak. I disagree and believe the opposite. One must look back and remember the atrocities of yesteryear. Never forget our forefathers who died, cruel deaths. Don't forget the past, if you do then these poor people have died in vain. We must always look back and remember that Holy man who died upon the cross, yes his name is Jesus, we must never forget what this precious man did for us and in order to do that, we must look back. If we suffered as a child, we must look back and remember in order to save another child of the present and future from suffering the same. We must be able to prepare our own children and teach them how to protect themselves, by staying out of harms way. We do that by remembering and looking back. Look back and remember the fields of lying dead, yes the dead of world war one and two. Without these people, we would not be enjoying the freedom we have today. Look back and remember. We look back and remember all the old songs and music of the 60's and 70's and remember dancing in school washrooms on cement floors, laughing and smiling wanting more and more, we do that by looking back at all the pleasant memories. I say, look back, reminisce, enjoy the good memories, learn from the bad memories and gain strength from the ugly memories. Look back, don't be afraid, look back.
