I realize why I love history so much...it makes me feel safe because
it uses facts to explain our existence.
It explains our purpose here:
to change the world
to keep it the same
to make mistakes
and to make miracles.
It gives us examples of what we are capable of, things to avoid and things to strive for.
I don't mind reading about the wars with their lungs and blood and loss.
I don't mind reading about people who ripped apart families and farms and systems.
I don't even mind reading the biased liberal material the school system feeds us because I look between the lies.
A bunch of people wrote the books.
There's things we might never know, eras and centuries and decades forgotten.
But what I do know is that I love history-
my history as an
American
Irish-Polish-German
Human being.
