Rapunzel said:
“People have always had a fear of change. They are usually most comfortable with what they know and understand, and differences often threaten our sense of security.”


Another quote from history; “So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” FDR.

If…during the study of past history…one does not consciously and without prejudice apply what one has learned to the “now”…then as “Sting” once said in song; ”History will teach us nothing.”
You will blindly hold your “history book” aloft as a light…but stumble in the darkness over the projections of your own “shadow“.
