Regarding the Toronto Queen Street West fire yesterday:
"History is for the dead!"
Which ties in nicely with something I heard for the very first time just the other day: "Life is for the living". Because history is just so burdensome, isn't it. I mean, we're always trying to save it, or capture a bit of it, or learn from it for fear we'll repeat it - which for some reason is considered quite the doomed thing to do.
So, I'm doing a total 180 as of today, right here on this blog, and adopting the double-edged (in a good way) adage, "History is for the dead, life is for the living".
Because really, I think I had it ass backwards right up until now.
