Popular history is contingent upon the historian who writes it. Every event in history is seen through the eyes of those who witness it. Each perspective is unique.

Historical Perspectives

What is history? It is anything that has already happened. It is one hundred years ago or one second ago. Now is but a fleeting concept. We are all living history. I am here to explore the past as well as history in the making. Today is history. The Iraq war is now and yesterday. We can learn from history. We can savor its memories and relive the good times. We can learn from its mistakes and repeat its victories. Who knows what tomorrow brings? We certainly know what yesterday brought us and can use it to our advantage. Here's to actively making history, yesterday, today and tomorrow!
