The temporal illusion

How come we as humans always tend to realize the real risk of horrors tomorrow, but not understanding the horrors that are already upon us? We are not at the brink of an Orwellian police state — it is already here. The wars on drugs, terrorism, poverty, and Iraq aren’t approaching failure — they have failed, and failed good. People say we should learn from history or we might relive its horrors — history tends to repeat itself because we don’t know about it or consider our collective experience of sufficient importance. There is truth to these words, but why do we think people could learn from history when most of us regularly fail to identify the nature of the now? If we cannot even see what we’re in the midst of, then how can we expect to learn from the experience of previous years — or even previous generations?
