History , records and documentation are important tools and templates which act as reference manuals , instructions or ready reckoners or prompters to adopt certain things and to avoid certain others.
However, to dwell only in the past and to harp on it for everything (even if the past document be a great scripture or a highly authentic evidence based factual account of history) is likely to hamper or to delay the experience of life with contextual relevance, changes, changing priorities, prevailing rationale ( may be pleasant or otherwise). It is as bad as living in fantasized dreams of the future.
Ironically, there are excessive debates, discussions on chronologies and calendars ( human invented measurement of time) but life is lived from moment to moment where the past either fades or lingers on the memory and the future leaps about in hope and expectations.
Past is the cape for navigation and hope the preparation for activation .
