What has changed?

A powerful song written 43 years ago. Four decades, and still..... nothing has changed.

“That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach.”

– Aldous Huxley, (1894-1963) philosopher and writer

By failing to comprehend the relationship of the past with the present, we run the risk of repeating history. Ignorance is bliss, some say, it can also be fatal.

@therighttothink50 Huxley saw it coming. It is a horrifying possibility.....but then isn't that what some people's reality is at the present ? Humans have become destructive and weak and something has got to give. If we do not change things for the better, the annihilation of mankind and all living beings on this earth shall come to pass. We need to awaken before it's too late .

@therighttothink50 In my humble opinion, Win, we can, without bloodshed. We should have progressed from the primitive cavemen days or the dark ages medeival battle mindset,centuries have passed and yet we haven't. We are still ignorant of the maximum potential our human minds are capable of reaching, resorting instead to the lowest and vilest of human behavior . Orwell and Huxley's fears were legitimate and I agree with both of them. There can't be too much or too little, but a middle ground. Freedom is when we are free of oppressors and able to live in harmony with one another.
