Why Reflections?
"History is for human self-knowledge ... the only clue to what man can do is what man has done. The value of history, then, is that it teaches us what man has done and thus what man is." R. G. Collingwood
“History makes men wise, poets-witty, Mathematics-subtle, nature philosophy-deep, moral-grave, logic-rhetoric and people enlightened.”
- Francis Bacon, the British statesman and philosopher
“The whole past is the procession of the present.”
- Thomas Carlyle, the British statesman and philosopher
“We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from the past errors
and for the purpose of
profiting by dearly bought experience”
Unfolding the pages of History, we realize the contribution of ordinary and extraordinary, founders and destroyers, high intelligence and intense desires, welfare and visionaries. History leaves an indelible mark on the minds and character of people; it teaches how to pass the crossroads of despair and hopelessness. The extraordinary amongst us have altered the course of history by resolving the causes of ignorance, scarcity and inequality.
They were the prophets of human welfare, who equipped mankind with the tool called education, to overcome any catastrophe of life. All these ambassadors of human race were diverse in their approach but worked towards a common mission that is to refine human life continuously from a state of barbarism to an enlightened and disciplined civilization.
