Knowing where you've been isn't the same as keep trying to go back there and blame the past for all today's ills instead of getting on with it and trying to make improvements. It would be impossible to please everyone in most situations but the Irish one even more so.

I remember seeing a documentary once about how people deal with traumatic childhood experiences. Some dwell on it and blame the past for everything that goes wrong in their lives. Others grow from it and use their experience to benefit others. You can't change the past but you can change how you respond to it and where you go from there.
