You don't have to rely too much on memory . Neither your own nor someone else's. But it is useful for writing great poems or novels. Or stories... There are today those who want to mourn what has already been mourned . Also those who ignore and even trample on the pain of those humans who suffered because of them. Memory is a magnificent thing : History is even more so. History shuns and demonizes ytúmás , that which (historical) memory uses as a permanent resource. The fascination of memory ends up being something sick that abhors universal human collaboration: it is not neutral and much less impartial. History is not neutral either, but it is impartial . And we come to the victims of the past. To those of the present.
As the great intellectual Martín Alonso says , “knowing the processes that led to the catastrophe and understanding its effects materialized on the victims acquires a profound moral scope because it invites us to remain alert to possible uncivil drifts and C Level Executive List contributes to sustaining decent societies.” It is worth remembering that not allowing the humiliation of any of its members is vital for any civil society worth its salt. There is a (dark) side to the things we like that we often forget to tell. Or that we don't know. In any case, we must understand the past in its own context: that is the job of historians, to explain that context, not to use what happened as if it were a poetic anthology . History always manages to replace what we want with what was . We have to be patient with the future, of course, because the past is being studied.
“The study of history teaches to read critically, not to look at the past with the eyes and moral attitudes of the present. And to think analytically, perceive the meaning of events from different perspectives and appreciate the diversity of beliefs and cultures.” Julian Casanova By the way, I like to insist that telling things that happened in the past is not writing History . It is not even writing about history, because the past, in itself, is not history: it is not the object of study of History. The object of study of History is history, which is the past understood in order to be explained. Telling things that happened in the past, even if they have happened to you, or have been told to you, does not help to understand or know the past: without the increasingly well-oiled tool that is History, it is impossible to understand the past. , know history, know human beings better.
