“It’s my belief that the study of history should be our preparation for understanding the present, rather than escape from it.”

Never let your past experiences harm your future. Your past can't be altered and your future doesn't deserve the punishment.

It’s isn’t what you did in the past

Do Not Erase The Past

One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.

The past is the present, isn’t it? It’s the future too.
