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. 11132017 PS Contest, Humanity, John Hamilton
