History dressed up in the glow of love’s kiss turned grief into beauty.

There are no lessons to be learned from the past. This is the first thing I learned from it. There is nothing back then that there isn't here now. There is nothing here now - nothing that matters - that wasn't back then. What matters. Are you a good person? Do you have any love in your heart? What would you do in a given circumstance? It all comes down to something like that.

Ignoring the evils of our history will only cause them to reoccur.
