“History, as nearly no one seems to know, is not merely something to be read. And it does not refer principally to the past,” Baldwin also wrote. “On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in everything we do.” (from Mary A. Heglar’s Twitter Post, Climate Change Ain’t the First Existential Threat)
I liked the part about you don’t fight because you think you will win but because you have to. We have to care about the future in order to make things better. Finding ways to be kind to one another and the planet just makes sense to co- existing.
