Understanding the past cannot only teach us the essentials of building fundamental aspects of our individual personhood. It can navigate us through life experiences that imprint what we adopt as our moral and ethical beliefs, our life compass. What happens when we don’t get a full picture of history? Is learning bits and pieces an accurate representation of life in order for us to make informed decisions, build meaningful relationships and adapt to whatever gifts or curve balls life will inevitably hurl at us?On this episode of Let’s Talk About All of the Things, we discuss the implications of history and it’s effect on our present and future.
