History

The gravest error a thinking person can make, is to believe that one particular version of
history is absolute fact. History is recorded by a series of observers, none of whom is
impartial. The facts are distorted by sheer passage of time and thousands of years of
humanities dark ages, deliberate misrepresentation by religious sects, and the inevitable
corruption that comes from an accumulation of careless mistakes. The wise person, then,
views history as a set of lessons to be learned, choices and ramifications to be considered
and discussed, and mistakes that should never again be made.
