I'm not going to pretend to understand the past.

The past was something we are wholly unconnected with in these times of ipads and tablet junkie phones and toys and gadgets allowing common citizens to walk around like kings and queens not of the 1500s but of 20 years ago. People are making themselves kings and queens and demanding servitude from their brothers sisters mothers and fathers rather than growing up to command responsibility for their own actions. Everyone is IN IT FOR THEMSELVES. How can anyone co-operate and succeed when EVERYONE is in it for their own personal END GAME?
