The Power of Studying Past
• The past is our foundation, the bedrock that
allows a stable society to exist, it is here that we
can see our Heroes, those who have done great It is a gift that our
and noble deeds and thoughts. ancestors bestowed
upon us, a great gift
• In our past we see our failures and our enemies,

our victories and our defeats.
• The past allows the people of the present and
the future to learn without having to endure.
• We can see how others coped, and how others
survived hard times. The past gives us courage
and it protects us.
• Not only can we see the sacrifices that have
been made for us by those in the past but we
can use that to protect ourselves now and in 3
the future.
Why not to study past?
• The present is the here and now, the place where

lived in the present.
• We all have a past but we do not live in it, our past
is past. But it continues to affect us at all times. We
do not live in the past, nor do we live in the future,
but the present is the most fleeting of all.
• However the present is just as important as the
past or the future, for without it the past was for
nothing, and the future will never arrive. Our
present will someday soon be our past, and the
present will decide how the future will turn out. 4

• Politically, socially, economically, in foreign affairs and national
security and of course personally… The future is not just a
place for future events to take place, but a place where we
want those who come after us to also believe in their future
—that those of us who lived in the past gave them a future
worth having, a future that gives more benefits than negatives.
• But we do not hope for a world without troubles, for that is
not a realistic vision. It is one thing to hope for a better
future because that is possible, but quite another to hope for
a future without problems for that is not possible. We should 5

not set ourselves or those who come after us up for failure.

Prospects of Studying Past
Preventing future mistakes is
one reason to study the past.
Another reason for studying
the past is that people
should be able to see how
the past events have
relevance in their lives now.
The past should serve as a
personal guide to the future.
This information is not useful
Jens Martensson
in everyday life or for the
future.
For this reason, it makes
learning the history a waste
of time because events can
also be interpreted in a
different way which makes
what we learn in history less
valuable.

Our Opinion
Learn from the Past…
Prepare for the Future…
Live in the Moment!

Jens Martensson
Life is heavily dependent on our points of view, our
paradigms, how we see the world. Living in the moment is
very difficult to do these days. Constant distractions make
it almost impossible, but we need to strive to do it.
Learning from the past is very useful, but dwelling in it can
be damaging. Preparing for the future is equally as useful;
but always living for what will be can take away from
those precious moments that we have in the present with
our family and our friends. However there are many cons
of studying past but it is better to learn from them. 7
