“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana
This is a great quote, but it seems to me that there is a problem with it. And the problem is trying to determine what lessons we should learn from history. We’re not better off if we remember history but learn the wrong lessons.
Tomorrow will mark 25 years since 9-11. With the exception of Mariner, all of us today remember 9-11. It’s unforgettable. The lessons from 9-11 are almost countless but I’ll give you two that I think are solid.

You aren’t promised tomorrow. Make sure you leave on a good note by showing kindness to those around you.
