History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.
History is formed by the people, those who have power and those without power. Each one of us makes history.
History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are.
History is one of those marvelous and necessary illusions we have to deal with. It's one of the ways of dealing with our world with impossible generalities which we couldn't live without.
History is merciless. History doesn't care if we pound our society down a rat hole. It's up to us to make more intelligent choices about how we live!
