Park Chan-seung: The power of history
We must guard against the misuse or abuse of the power of history. History exerts a significant influence on reality, often unnoticed, and can even bring about changes in the present and alter the future. The power of history is indeed this strong. Therefore, we must be extremely vigilant against misusing or abusing history for any specific purpose. This is especially true if that specific purpose is far removed from universal human values or serves the practical interests of a particular group, ethnic group, or nation. Liang Qichao and Shin Chae-ho long ago left behind the maxim that historical narratives should be an end in themselves and should not be written for any other purpose. This, too, serves as a warning against the misuse and abuse of history, mindful of its power.
