Simplified Meaning:
Losing our history is one of the worst things that can happen. Imagine if all the books and records that tell the stories of our grandparents and ancestors disappeared. We wouldn't know what mistakes they made, what they did right, or how they solved problems. For example, if we forget how difficult it was for people during the Great Depression, we might not understand the importance of having savings or being careful with money. Knowing history helps us make better choices and avoid repeating the same mistakes. So, it's important to preserve things from the past, like old photos, letters, and stories from our elders. Respecting and remembering history keeps us connected to where we come from and guides us in the future.
