I'm sure Sandor will respond with his famous "Idiot" to my post Heather, but I'll give it a shot. He's a traditionalist, as am I. Traditionalists believe in a cyclical, not linear, history.
Most traditionalists believe we're in a dark cycle now, Kali Yuga, in which there will be no golden ages. Like the monks in the dark ages, we have to preserve the memory of our last golden age. One day, it will come again.
