Sometimes historians are called to meet and find common
ground. They need to decide whose is a disputed territory
– ours or yours, and it goes on and on for years. Neither of
the sides gives in. History is, essentially, a major obstacle
for the rapprochement of the countries in the world. In fact,
rather than being an instrument of progress, history
prevents it.
The future is most important for everyone. It should be
introduced as a scientific discipline and school subject in
the entire school system in the world. Studying the future
will allow rapid social development in general. The future
will reveal the solution to many issues that plague us
today in every sense of the word.
Planning the future does not accept negative elements. It
is very difficult to incorporate illogical or negative content
in the future plans. For example, no sane person plans to
kill anyone. (“This month I plan to kill ten people, and next
year I plan to kill 55.”) Something like this is impossible.
Future planning involves reality and progress.(“In the next
five years, I plan to work harder and repay my house.”)
Such a plan is normal and realistic.
