Question

Why is it important to remember the past? (answer in 4 sentences.)

Answer 1

You see, remembering the mistakes of past is important only in the sense that it enables us to have a better future by avoiding those same mistakes. Some of us are so traumatized by the failures of the past, however, that our memory of the past prevents us from taking productive action toward a better future. History is important because WE ARE the past: we are the sum of all the events--good, bad, and indifferent--that have happened to us. ... The only way we can understand who we are and how we got to be that way is by studying the past. Similarly, the only way we can understand others is by studying their past

Answer 2

Answer:

It is important to remember the past, to show how much you have improved. Remembering the past is not always good , but not always bad. You can use your past to tell a story to lift people up. Recognizing your mistakes and fixing them are important as well because maybe in the future you might be talking to a person and they might have done the same mistake as you did, you can remember the past and teach them how you resolved your problem to help them resolve theirs. Remember not to always think about the past , think about it when you need to lift someone up and don't use others past as a way to blackmail or to win a fight , that's just not cool
