History deserves the interest given to it when its lessons help people make a better one for their generation; not merely a subject for academic discussion, but a forceful force that transcends the darkness of its path. Otherwise, it is as dead as a dog runover in the roadside; as empty as the cup of holy blood that many refuse to drink.
Most people believe that once people gain their freedom from oppressors, they became free. History shows that's not necessarily true. Our oppressors are not outside us but within us--pride, fear, covetousness... These sinful vices keep people in bondage using chains that no amount of uprising can break.
