"The wicked lie is that yhe past is always tense and the future is always perfect."
-Zadie Smith
History has always been destined to repeat itself. Certain events may not exactly play out in the future as it once did in the past, but these events will take place none the less. Quite honestly, I agree that the statement "the future is always perfect is in fact a "wicked lie". During the times of the civil war, slavery, and the Great Depression, it was always said and expected that in the future things will be "different". But where exactly is that difference, if there's even a difference at all. Countries still live in poverty, war, slavery, and inequality. Our country for example, still has social and economic inequality where citizens are force to play the hands they are dealt and there's nothing we can do about it. So tell me... where exactly is perfection in that?
