History is an important part of our life as humans. Without keeping the records of the past, we are likely going to forget ourselves and thus, we will get lost in the present. This is solely because of the dialectical relationship between the past and the present. These two are intertwined that we are bond to hold them in unison. We can't forget one but remember the other.
Remembering the past in quite necessary for the present and even tomorrow or future. Without the past and the present, the future is likely not gonna come.
The past is a present that has gone, the present is a past that we are living in, while the future is a coming past
These three brothers might have different terminology but have one source and one mark or identity. We all lived in them at any time we want.
The past was once my today and even my future. But now, I call it a past.
