However, the important thing when researching history is to take an optimistic approach and not let history overwhelm you, because it wasn't all fun and games.
Many unfortunate events have occurred, leading to the creation of the world we live in today. Just when we thought we had learned something from those mistakes, the same unfortunate events are happening all over again.
Just look at the latest war(s). All we are saying is—just be careful.
If you delve too deeply into history and then compare it to the present, you might lose hope for the future.
