You can't know everything forever!
All the history and background bullshit
will catch up with our minds.
We'll remember words and fragments
of these simple ideas
and never know what they mean.
but computers... computers know everything!
and they will always be on top
if top is all of history...
But we need to stop learning to learn!
What about experiences?
What about feeling things that are worth feeling?
We keep learninglearninglearning history,
but history is continual!
We can't stop it!
Then we put it in books to read
so we know. And we push it on them to know.
But we don't know everything,
we don't know ourselves!
They certainly can't either
with this landfill of knowledge
which we create
And list.
One knew we were different.
Emotion knew.
I know.
You do too.

History is a wondeful thing, it's more than just facts it allows us to look back and learn from our mistakes, which is something we do in our own lives. My history class is probably my favorite, not only do you learn about the past, but it's applied to a broader context.

I don't exactly hate it... It's just how I was feeling when I wrote it.
Sometimes I feel learning history is overbearing, that it's continually coming at us and we're always learning it. It's impossible to learn everything, you know?
But I guess a lot of people like the idea that it's never-ending, so they can continue to learn. It's just too much for me at times... and sometimes I think that there are other ways we should be spending our time.
