If we forgive, and forget then what is the point of the lesson we already learned. If all the bad things were forgotten then how would people know how and how not to do things and fix problems. I think that we have to know because we learn from our mistakes, but if we forget our mistake, we will forget our lesson that we worked do hard to fix. If we do not know about it, when it arises again we will not know how to fix it.
In The Wave David tries to convince Laurie that she should forget about what happened with the Nazis, He said “Forget about it. It happened once We learned our lesson. It will never happen again.” I do not agree with this statement because if we just forget all the events that were bad and trust in the goodness of human nature we will forget and we will do the thing we tried to avoid and history will repeat its self. Evil is a force that everyone is capable of doing but people will not accept the evil, because someone will fight the evil and be a “good guy” in attempt to make the world a better place.
I think this statement is false, because everyone has power and not everyone is corrupted. I would not know what it would be like if one person had absolute power, because they can not control how some one else lives. If some one has power they have a reason to do every action that they perform may it result in a positive or negative outcome. Many people who have power must use it wisely because even one mistake can cause a huge problem such as an up rise and may lead to an over through of the person in power. Even though having power is both good and bad we can not have absolute power, can we control weather, can we control nature, can we control even our self? We may anticipate what happens but how we react to the environment is not fully up to us.
