History as a story...

When taking history as a whole, one can be forgiven for having Strauss's "Sprach Zarathustra" replaying over and over in your mind. Simple reason being that history is such an awe inspiring collection of events and all of those events flow together to make the world that we inhabit today, possible. Taking into consideration all the people that have inhabited this world, it is truly an epic tale.

History by definition is an interpretation of events, past or current, and of the people that made those events possible or their contribution to them. To this extent, history has been used as a means of opression and segregation but also of liberation and emancipation, for wars and peace, education and ignorance or just simply as an amusing story to be passed on from generation to generation - later being instilled as myth.

Every household, family, community and country have their histories that become part of the whole history of the world, even though some histories may be forgotten others persist.

The first day

The first day of this new chapter.

Ever had one of those deep seated emotional feelings where your every fibre of being cries out for it to be released?

Well, this is one of those feelings - History.

I know many people couldn't care less of what happend on the day, some truly wish to forget what had happend the day before and so, it would not be surprising to consider how many people living in these modern times - cannot be bothered about what happend 50 or 60 years back let alone 2,000 - 5,000 years back.

But. fortunatly. this is not for you. This is for everyone that has a yearning for history for conservation, and of course my ways and views on it.
