l l We have a tendency to glorify the past. Our natural fears of the unknown future are allayed, if we look backward with nostalgia to what seems like a more secure and happy time. The past, we think, is done',, except for the affect it has on the present and future. To view the past as a better time is foolish. True, there is much to be gained and to emulate from the study of how early people met crises, faced the threat of starvation, struggled to survive politically, economically and physically, but to enshrine the past is to break the human experience into artificial segments. History is a con- tinuous stream. Like floating on a river, we must stop for a glance to see how far we have come and where we are going. However, to indulge ourselves in the weakness of longing for what is no longer present is to let the current of life take us where it will. Early Americans could not afford to wallow in the self-pity of crying that they had nothing to do with the situation they inherited. The weak- ling justifies his inactivity by ration- alization. We like our political an- cestors, must be up and doing. lfzfr -- ,4 Kuggcd fruggle for umm!
