Our History Can Change Our Future

By

M. Raymond Sheppard

We must actively take an exploratory journey into the past and the present to discover the impending future of our people. We must put our past economic and sociological predicaments to work for us through understanding and thus plot a course to affect positive future change, the changes we want and need. And how will observing these past findings help us navigate the future? In profound ways!

There are past and present-day parallels that can predict and rescue the future. Analyzing the similarities, the successes, the limitations, the influences and the dreams can be and are the guiding principles for future growth and development.

We must never forget that the downturn in our natural civilization was at the hands of exploitation practiced by those seeking power and control. It is a time to look at our history memoir sort of speak, an accent the exceptional levels of accomplishments set against all odds. Presently, by looking behind we can inject a level of stimulation into our future, thus planting seed for germination. By going deep into the history of our culture (society) on all levels and in all its splendour and glory, we can truly make a difference.

We must seek to gain and indeed gain, a intricate and multifaceted understanding of all aspects of our past and present. Equally, how we portray ourselves in our own history will serve to leave our people with more appreciation of our culture. This appreciation will also allow us to distinguish the truth from the stereotype, this is need for our future development.
