History, records, and documentation are important tools and templates that act as reference manuals, instructions, 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 is 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, and prevailing rationale (which may be pleasant or otherwise). It is as bad as living in fantasized dreams of the future.
Ironically, there are excessive debates and discussions on chronologies and calendars (human-invented measurements of time), but life is lived from moment to moment, where the past either fades or lingers in memory and the future leaps about in hope and expectations.
The past is the cape for navigation and hope the preparation for activation.
