The Past Fails as Standard-Bearer

"Trash heap of history" and "ash heap of history" are a few of the versions of a common saying that doesn't look upon our past favorably, yet we also have many people who try to bring it back by seeing them as "the good ol' days" or something similar. Our past should be seen critically, using it as a teaching tool integrated with a goal of continuous improvement for all of us. While not all of history should be seen as part of a garbage heap, looking to emulate the past is foolish.
