A Historical Event

They say that history is written by the victor. In this point of time, history is just written by those that shout the loudest; we live in democracy. Nevertheless, history can be so easily lost in a moment. In a flash it can be rewritten from the actual truth and you wouldn’t believe so in this modern era of enlightenment.

Think of a historical point in time, and you have already have ten different opinions of what happened. While you might get the facts, you won’t always get the why or the how.

Today’s history writers are not notable people. They are not even honest people or even necessarily nice people. They are people who have selfish stake in what we hear about history. Is it not their fault that truth is not being told. It is not their fault, main stream media shouldn’t care what you know about truth.

The media or any entity that gives news, is not about what is right or wrong. It is not about truth. It is about their opinion going out to you. It is what they see. What you choose to listen is your choice. This is how history is being lost, because no one will look through a history book that was written while they were alive.

Take for instance invading the Middle East. Most people would say because of 9/11. However, a lot would say greed, and probably even some would say aliens. The point is that for such a recent event, so to speak, you can’t even seem to get to the bottom of what really happened.

It makes you think, how is history even accurate? Even till this day, we are learning about new things about history. Also every day people are revising history how they want it.

History just seems so impossible to record and be accurate. It just seems that having accurate history of yesterday is just as hard as having accurate historical facts of Genghis Khan or Alexander the Great.

Although, we have all these means to record history, you will have to sift through everything and find the truth of the matter. Yes, we have the information, but there is just so much information, that it makes you wonder, what if the information of history that I seek, is actually not here? What if history is all wrong, and filled with too many opinions.

There are many historical events that are happening around us in this moment, some are good, some are bad. Nevertheless, you may think you know how history is, because you were alive when history happened. However, if you look through the history books as you would for a time before you; you may just realize, history is being written from a different story that you believe happened or what you saw.
