History and short term memory.

[Brian37]

Given long enough time, any historical event of human history will eventually be forgotten. I'm not convinced there is any ineffable way to record history. And even if history was ineffably recorded, who is to say what - several millennia from now - how ancient history will be regarded in the distant future?

I agree. But my frustration with our species, isn't that we fight, or have differences. But in just what you said now. In that we are too short sighted to understand we cant afford to be short sighted. Life is finite, and to face that, is the most important reality anyone can accept to extend our finite ride.
