Many people believe that it is essential to understand the past to solve problems in the present and future. Personally, I agree with that statement for following reasons. Above all, we can find solutions in the past because history repeats itself. Second we can save time to solve problems.
To begin with, we can gain information related with problems in the present and future through the past. This is because problems in the present could resemble with those in the past. To be specific, we can gather choicest tips in books that are written by our ancestors. The reasons that we can gain tips in old books are that our precursor already experience the problem we would handle. In this regard, we need to understand the past.
Second, we can save time to solve problems. For example, unless we had known to move stars in space in the past, we could not easily understand to orbit around our stars in space in the present and future. However, we already know the movement of stars because we can expect our space of future. Therefore, I think that we should understand our past.
In conclusion, Understanding the past is important to deal with problems in the present and future. This is because we can save time and find solution easily. Then I strongly agree with that statement. |
