It is purely the honesty in me that prompts me to write, and say what I have seen, known and read about the world and its environment, and indeed, as I see it, the past will always be the key to the future since learning about it continues to be the source of acquiring knowledge. Certainly, most old brain cells with wit in their innermost,  able to function independently from outside interference, would know exactly what I mean as the devil's dowry often has the element of experience even if the old jazz curse of passing is still upon it, and indeed, how many words, stories, and tales have been written and recounted by celebrated inky fingers and skilled storytellers. Many, I suppose, but not many of those have served me best, as a source of learning and enjoyment, than the chronicle of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. This collection of circumstances of a far bygone past has caused me to understand the plight of the Earth and the curse it is under and it has fitted well with my general concept of learning for it has emboldened my interest in a subject that has totally captivated my attention. Certainly, the Ancient Greeks and Ancient Romans left us, arguably, of course, but in my opinion, nevertheless, a flamboyant and coruscating legacy of high cultural level and social development which still has a strong influence in our present –days’ civilisation. Certainly, the present cannot alter the past even though, inevitably, the new will replace the old but we owe a great deal to historians, authors and raconteurs for having preserved yesterday's past in books, manuscripts and in the memory of those whose interest in the subject has been such that they use oral communication in order to create awareness of past events and fix it in people's mind. Indeed, this talented and cultivated bunch of writers and orators have pieced together fragments of an enormous historical and cultural worth and importance, and have depicted a vivid picture of yesterday's past for the benefit of people like me and those with similar interest in events of an earlier time to appreciate, cherish and adhere to. Indeed, I have always stated to my chums, family and acquaintance that there is wisdom in taking an interest in the past and make comparisons between yesterday and today for what is happening to the world and its environment now can be easily remedied by using the past as a vehicle to apply past experiences and build a picture of what is there to do in order to solve the environmental issues that besiege our planet today. Certainly, we need to learn from what the experiences of the past have shown us since not only is mankind partly responsible for the ill effects of Mother Earth towards its eradication but he has also brought into existence the means to make the task more easily attainable. Nevertheless, I believe that there is a need for reasoning as it has now become compulsory to learn about the Earth characteristic features and be aware of its vulnerability. Absolutely, I care for the world and its social issues and I think that it would be selfish if I were to say that it has nothing to do with me just simply because it does not affect me; on the contrary, I think we should always help when there is a problem in the world and give its misery a helping hand and its citizens a well-needed touch of guidance in environmental issues. Wouldn't you agree?
