About this Quote

This quote by Jeffrey Jones recommends that it is difficult to make generalizations regarding the past and present. He thinks that there is an intermittent nature to points, suggesting that the very same patterns as well as events often tend to repeat themselves over time. For that reason, it is challenging to make sweeping declarations regarding just how much better or worse things are currently contrasted to the past. Jones is speaking from his very own individual experience, as well as he believes that it is essential to take a nuanced technique when making contrasts between the past as well as existing. He is warning versus making generalizations, as it is impossible to recognize the complete context of any provided situation. Eventually, Jones is recommending that it is very important to take a more nuanced technique when making contrasts in between the past as well as present.
