History is used, often, as a very strong elastic rope to stretch and tie around whatever we wish to and whenever we choose to as per our requirement.

Only when there is a specific problem disturbing human and other life forms on a regular basis, other than natural disasters, then one need to get to the root of the problem.

 

A certain percentage of the Geopolitical issues, of the present day, may be the result of a few hundred years of happenings, still fresh in the collective memory of human beings and accessible through historical references gleaned from various sources, some authentic, some surmises and some glorified lies. 

 

But then, if there is any present and prevailing issue, it must be addressed practically without the necessity to seek vindications, endorsement through many or any of the past events. The past we know of or want to refer to may not be logically the most perfect, if cockroaches could speak or write they would narrate the story of so many excellent creatures.

If we resort to hyper philosophical mode to hypothetically fantasize, then, perhaps, humans could have probably lived in comparatively greater peace and harmony if the Atlas of earth had everything available aplenty for everyone everywhere.

 

Also we never stretch human race too far into the past before the advent of vague or whimsical national boundaries based on various factors like languages, cultures, traditions, food habits,  resources, wars etc and all these further complicated by the inevitable complexities and progress of humanity from mere hunter gatherers for survival and evolved into a species which ventured to explore, to experience, to enjoy and to educate itself to evolve into a better equipped species with optimum utilisation of all its faculties which involved immense freedom on one hand and control through certain behavioural codes of conduct to ensure harmonious cohabitation. 

 

However, ironically,  these  various control mechanisms, meant originally to ensure harmony,  at least to certain geographical areas, mutated into organisms which in their greed to enlarge their sphere of control to various geological areas, multiple domains of human activities, the human beings' psychological fabrics etc ended up creating ideological divides in the name of cults, religions, politics etc. 

 

These have formed a carapace over the nice and naked human spirit. Some layers give protections; some enhance the strength but a few of them are unnecessary or are outliving their expiry date.
