the people live in peace. Therefore, some people believe that it is not useful for 
today's life in making ourselves informed about the past. 
Despite the above belief, there are many others who consider history as an important 
source to understand human life. This can be because of the fact that learning 
about 
previous mistakes and other experiences of the people who lived in the past 
has
helped us to not only analyze life but also to shape it the best way for the current 
period. For instance, knowing about the life of certain scholars and leaders like 
Mahatma Gandhi 
has 
definitely aided us in understanding and following certain 
principles of their lives which are applicable even today, even though they were used 
many years ago. Hence, many people believe that learning about the past is a major 
way to understand our life
,
which is also my opinion.
To recapitulate, though there are people who believe that we can't learn anything 
from the past to help us in our life today, there are others who consider history as a 
valuable source to understand human life. In my opinion, I believe that knowledge 
related to the past will definitely provide us with information to help us understand 
our life in a better way.
