Does history matter

Fic.

History likes to say a lotta shit who cares about about it, doesn't matter for the people who're alive and by the time it's something you care about it's 'history' as they say, don't worry about your impact, how you'll affect the lives of your progeny. History is the least goddamn thing you should worry about, live. in. the moment, man, we are not going to be subjugated to the demands of the future. Our children are here, we are here, and what's good for the present is good for the future. If we're out polluting and killing people all that, yeah it's not great right now, there's no conflict between the present and the future. Present is present because it's a gift, history is gone, what nobody cares about.

NO Robbo you got it wrong man, it maters man what the future generations think about us is important. We get to set examples, we want people to follow our path. What's good for the present may or may not be good for the future. Look at all the visionaries, the great people who've rebelled against the standards of their time to defend the weak, the ones that the world has been oppressing. Oppressors aren't remembered -- with so much reverence anyway -- as much as those who defend the oppressed. Meaning in this case our influence matters, we need to keep in my our impact for the future.

Ack.
