“History shouldn’t be judged in the rear view mirror.”

That’s a great line.

The logic of it is that judging history in a rearview mirror is not judging a history in the full context of its own time. It nitpicks history from a context, a future, that the people and time in that history were never part of.

Warning to those historians, and others, who judge history in a rearview mirror - what goes around, comes around.
