History without tears

In a car a rear view mirror may be nearly as important as a windscreen! A backward glance can help to avoid past mistakes catching up on us. For a few years I have been involved in the Salvation Army Historical Society and we have been seeking to review the Army's past in order to improve its future. By innovative presentations we have sought to teach 'history without tears' and last evening saw a good crowd gather for such an event.
In our personal lives it may sometimes be good to look back before we go forward. That way we may avoid repeating past errors. To make a mistake once is human but to go on making the same mistake may be just plain daft!
