In what ways can the past guide us in creating a strong and just future? Many people say that mistakes of the past can guide us to a better future. People say to look back and see how we can improve our future. However, I think that we look at the past and see the mistakes people have made but we continue to make the same mistakes, yes so many things have changed. Nevertheless, you can never erase the past and only learn to live with it. For me, an example of this is woman's rights we still have countless acts of unjust against women in many places especially in the work environment, people say the past is gonna change us but I still don't see change. Truth be told we will never have and "fair" and equal future.
