I am reading some writing prompts but I don't understand the one below.
"Claim: Knowing about the past cannot help people to make important decisions today. Reason: We are not able to make connections between current events and past events until we have some distance from both."
I don't understand the part I have underlined, especially the words "have some distance"
please explain it in a simple way.
Thanks.
I have posted it on other online forum https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/until-we-have-some-distance-from-both.3782167/ but I don't get it so I post it here
