Humanity
H istory and the Bible portray the reality, good or bad, of human existence.
U nderstanding the past provides tools for better guidance of mankind's future.
M isinformation and revisionist goals will not alter the past or better our future;
A nd it is futile to chart tomorrow's course by denying yesterday's failures.
N ations and civilizations rise, fall, or become extinct largely due to pride.
I n spite of advise and warnings from prior generations, they self-destruct.
T omorrow is promising if we take off the blinders and remove the wax.
Y esterday's societies built a launching pad from which we must stage and lift.
