Why History Matters

We can't really understand what's going on now without knowing what happened before. It's like building a house – you need a strong foundation. Even scientists need to know about history to make sense of their experiments. They're part of a big story, just like everyone else.

Remember Don Quixote? He is a great example of how books can mess with your head! He reads a bunch of old stories about knights and princesses and starts believing he's one. He dresses up in armour and goes around fighting windmills because he thinks they're giants.It's like his brain got stuck in a book!

Imagine history as a roadmap. It shows us where we've been, the paths we've taken, and the detours we've made. By understanding this map, we can better predict where we might end up and plan our route accordingly.

History is our guide to the future. By studying the past, we learn from mistakes, understand the present, and find inspiration for tomorrow. It helps us avoid repeating errors and build a better world.
