Answer 4

It is a blind fool who both forgives and forgets. It is an arrogant dictator who neither forgives nor forgets. And it is a wise man and brilliant leader who forgives, but does not forget.

Don't leave history so suddenly. It is history that teaches us not to repeat terrible mistakes in the future. Our history guides us and shows us our progress (or, in some cases, lack thereof). To leap forward and blindly parade about in celebration of "forgetting past tensions" is foolish. Sure, for a short time peace may reign, but soon people would start doing things, things that were supposed to be forgotten. Mistakes will be repeated, and conflict will erupt once more. Humanity isn't built for such peace.

Funny word, "utopia". It means "no place".

Answer 5
