Cenotaph in Front of City Hall

Cenotaph in Front of City Hall
"We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future."
George Bernard Shaw

The Sunday Challenge: The Future

I think that this quote illustrates the image well as it ties together a cenotaph, the memorial to our horrible past, and a City Hall, a democratic institution where decisions about the future are formed.

The responsibility we have for our future is informed by our past. You chose a fitting image to represent this, Pappy.

Inevitably the future is influenced by its history. We need to be reminded of the dark pages in both our own and our common history.
Fine BW.
