perception

"History is generally written
by those who saw the Light
rather than the Dark."

I guess that could be true.
Perception
is
Important.

Nevertheless,
would it be unrealistic
to suggest that the
reason we have not
learned from our mistakes
is not be choice,
but
because these
blinded-by-the-proverbial-light
historians?

Perhaps it is unrealistic,
in which case,
I withdraw my question.
