History is His Story

 
History, are actually stories which are written mostly by white males. The history which we are being taught, is always influenced by the person who has written it. He will add his own interpretation and opinions, and may even change things in such a way that it will benefit himself or his goals.
His-story, has to be read with awareness and common sense, and not simply be accepted and certainly not repeated. Unfortunately, we too often repeat our history without really seeing for example that the slavery we thought to be extinct; is still alive today.

This is the same with religious scriptures; use your common sense. Always ask yourself if what is being written is best for all. What it would imply if what is written is true. What would it say about that so called "God" for example. Because people tend to accept God = good, but it is not necessarily so. This is just deeply ingrained in many minds, and passed on over generations. Learn to question what you read, and do not let your feelings and emotions direct you. If one gets caught up in emotions or feelings, one is not fully able to think critically about history or politics or anything. We get taught history in structured packages, but in reality it is not as structured and narrow. It is extensive, with lots of influences, lots of alteration, hidden or ignored date, personal emotions, viewpoints and opinions. Yet so many still use history as a guiding stick, even as a justification for things to go wrong by saying "it has always been that way". As if that means that "how it has always been" has to be continued because history sais so. We have the ability to change and to stop blindly following our programmed mind.
I often heard Christians say: "it has been written in many books" , "it has been documented thousands of years ago that it would happened", "it was prophesized" etc...
Yet what would that say? What if I would make predictions that come true within thousands of years (high chance it will in such a long period of time). What if it was? Do they know the authors? The government plans? The intentions behind it all? If info was changed and altered and cut? did they question the nature of that so called "good god"? Or do they just accept it as a truth and worship it, simply because that’s what your supposed to do with a god?

It is very important to see who the authors are and what their motivation might have been.

Much of the history in the world has been presented and shaped in a way to applaud the contributions of certain selected personalities, while ignoring and even cutting out others who do not fit into the agenda.

Females did not have a voice for a very long time, neither had black people. It was always that select group of white elite males.


We think we know so much of our history and the so called "facts", but actually we only know a very narrowed small part of it. And it is crucial to understand the way our system worked; the human mind; and how those in power controlled everything and often were not interested in the common good at all ...

When "his tory" is presented to you, always ask yourself: whose story is this really?
