Thoughtful..good question!

I don't entirely agree, but I think as time goes on generations like to "forget" points in time in favor of what could be, and not what was.

@ravenwind43 I'd say that's a very relevant observation in reference to our times. D'you think people could be taught to do otherwise?

@oneperson A person can be taught perhaps, though it might just be the blinders that allows society to continue?
