It is far more important to learn the hard lessons of history than of its triumphs. Otherwise, we are doomed to find ourselves lackluster, without knowing the hardships that had been overcome to give us what we take for granted. To most, the lives lost building their future we live in is just a number, if we know of them at all. Humanity's path is paved with their ashes, allowing the reasons for their sacrifices to be forgotten will require far more blood to learn ourselves, because the one thing we don't forget is more effective ways to destroy each other. It won't be like before with just bullets and bombs, though. We're in the information age, it's far easier to deceive and divide us than ever, we trust what we're shown on a screen, and worst of all we are each more fungible. To destroy us simply means to convince enough of us our future is not worth fighting for.
