Are you really asking or haven't you? 🤭

Now that I'm officially old I finally realize that NO we didn't learn from the past we learn from our own experiences and no matter what truth you've experienced it may only be true for one generation and only a small part of it. We aren't climbing a ladder to the top of the intellectual Babel but rather we are all walking horizontally and we only have short sighted vision in the past. The past is always interpreted by our present and our brains SO SMALL that we can't contain all the details of even yesterday. We are doomed...."but God in His great mercy..."

Mercy…….what a concept………a wonderful, gracious, loving mystery. Boggles my mind as it warms my heart, makes me weep as it gives me hope.

How old is considered old Rambler? I feel like I am old but it feels like yesterday that I was growing up in a free country and BAM, I realize nearly everything I was taught is a lie and the Bible's warnings and mysterious predictions are becoming clearer.

IMO Jesus is the truth and if He isn't, we really ARE doomed. Being a skeptic about everything even Trump, the Bible repeatedly satisfies my skepticism.

Our minds are small, and have enough trouble even keeping up with what is best for ourselves. Yet somehow people think they can and are entitled to "save the world." Sadly, we humans love our rule-making, and we all have this ridiculous notion of "utopia," which we think we can impart to others, and they will be completely onboard with it.

Oh, definitely being sarcastic. We’ve obviously learned very little from recent history.

I have learned from the past especially the big boo boos. Never again.
