We should spend more money on preserving our past - it

is too important to lose

It is common knowledge that knowing our history is important and we

should make more efforts to preserve our past. But is it really necessary to do
so?
On the one hand, there are some people who insist that we have already
spent enough money and would rather invest in more practical fields such as
education or medical services. Supposing we had developed new technology
with the money, we would have improved our lives more. It may be better to
give away money to charities since we can see how wisely money is spent. In
addition, we have not got any useful result from preserving out past, although a
great deal of money and time were used. We are living in the present and going
to the future, not the past.
On the other hand, it is thought that the past reflects us who are living in
the present and shows the future as history has repeated all the time. That is
why, if we are aware of our past well, we can get a better understanding of the
way we live and think, and prepare for what will happen in the future in order
not to make mistakes again which caused problems before. Moreover, our past
is not only ours, but also our future generations. Just because it does not seem
important for us at present does not mean that they will not need to know about
the past.
All in all, it seems to me that it is absolutely necessary for us to preserve
our past, because there are more things in life than simply being practical. I
strongly believe that we should spend more money on preserving our past – it is
too important to lose.
