Does the past matter?
by Gopal on Nov 24, 2006 01:33 PM

Civilizations are subject to evolution, they are born, reach maturity, grow old and die. It is a cycle.

What is the point in talking about the maturity of India 2000 years back when our women are not safe? what is the point in talking about past riches when the poor cannot have a square meal today? Lets live for today and tomorrow than rueing the centuries gone by.

what matters is what we are today and how we can ensure a better place for our future citizens. The past is good to be read in books not practiced in life now.
