History had lot's of ups and downs. It will never end. Like numbers history is infinite as well. Like James Joyce said "'History,' Stephen said, 'is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.'" Sounds like he already knows history will never end. We make history everyday and we will always have to learn more. But why is history important to us?
One reason is simply because we need the record of the past events, cultures, ideas and places that once existed. Also historical timelines come as significance as well. They help tell us important dates, which may help us in some further research on some historical mysteries. We can all agree that our history isn't perfect nor will it ever be, but with imperfections that we've heard of, that happened a long time ago it help's us learn from our mistakes, then evaluate what was done wrong and what right and then improve on the life we're building upon. But its not only that we learn from our mistakes, but also successes, so we know what to keep and what works for us. It helps us know who our ancestors were and learn what our family history was like. It benefits in learning other people cultures and each other in the world, with understanding each other it can help with disagreements, promote peace, prevent prejudice, prevent ignorant, and bias.
Those are not the only reasons history is important. Sure people say forget about the past, you can never forget the past."If you do not like the past, change it." William L. Burton
