At the rising of the sun and the setting of the same we shall remember them. But why? I have been reflecting on this. In the light of the number of facebook status to this effect. It’s all about remembering “our brave heroes”. I have been thinking that remembering is not enough. The act of remembering has to be for a reason. We can mourn the past, and the loss of any life is to be mourned. But to truly remember we need to change the future. Do we learn the lessons of the past? If we look at todays conflicts we can see how past actions has led to presents consequences. It often feels that as an individual I cannot change the future, so why am I remembering the past?
