I think what we have here is very interesting, I hope it's not a curse

There has never been a time when the whole world has been at peace. We all live in interesting times, we always will.

What bothers me is when I meet younger people with no interest at all in history, anything that happened before they were born is just boring rubbish to them. If we don't learn from the mistakes of history we will simply repeat them forever.

How surprising. Unless, presumably, one is Chinese. Where did you source this fact. - Not disputing, just wondered.
