The Past Is Our Enemy

I propose that remembering is the worst thing a human being can do. I will grant that it is useful when it comes to changing a light bulb or learning a musical instrument, but overall, the problems of today are caused by the pernicious craft known as history. I propose that we human beings forget everything that has happened, for all it does is give people a reason to hate each other, as if there aren't enough reasons to hate each other. The constant rehashing of past events does us no good: isn't it bad enough to know that people are the worst thing on the planet, without a thorough examination of the fact that we used to be much worse? Is information overload good for us?
