Why people write biographies

All throughout human history, new generations sweep across the earth, ignorant of life. They grow up gaining tons of wisdom, some more than others. New generations should not be doomed to relive what the past generations have gone through to get to where they were. Biographies are written to enlighten people. They are written to progress society and give perspective. They can give new concepts, and invoke internal inquiries. Biographies are perhaps one of the most important aspect of human history.
