Look Back.

You know ,
When you’re practically living a lifeless life like me,

You start to think , a lot.
I mean , REALLY , A LOT.

Thoughts that range from love , friends , education , family.

Who am I at this very present moment ?

A girlfriend to him ,
A friend to whomever,
A daughter , niece , granddaughter.

How Did I become his girlfriend ?

Now , that would need some rewinding and reminiscing of the PAST.

Basically , I would say past = history .

One may even think that both are actually synonym to each other kan ? :P

Everyone of us would have our own history.
History can , or may be define as the study of the past ( referring to dear ol wikipedia ! ) . Of course the word study MIGHT be a little to serious to use on normal average human being thoughts ( memememe ! ) ,
BUT ,
Unconsciously , every time we are reminiscing our past , we are, indeed studying our actions and decisions.

By reminiscing / looking back , we know why are we facing whatever we have at the present.
For instance ,

Now , you’re with someone special.

How did you meet her / him ?

How did you guys end up knowing each other ?

What attributed to the flirting , sparks , and overflowing attraction ?

What actually triggered the thought of you being more than friends ?

When did you find yourself nodding to his proposal ?

What , How , When , Where?

Who we are today , are shaped of what we were before.

Every human in this world have a history of their own.
Some, have their history written on books and are read by people around the world ,
Some, have used their history to guide and to teach ,
Some, served and learned from other histories to create his own history,
Some, learned and became a better person :).

How can you Not love history , when you yourself are reading History from time to time ? : )

Everything is history.
Be it religion , be it studies , be it relationships , be it whatever.
There is always a history trailing behind these subjects.

For instance ,
The Bible.

We are reading of what Jesus did before , What he preached , and His Words became your source of comfort and the reasons behind your strong faith .

Personally I love History.
I may not excel for the subject , but I have profound interest in reading History.

Believe or not , I don’t mind reading our History text books again and again !

But it’ll be so bloody good if they wrote in all in English .
And wrote more about the world history.

:s !

So love History kids. It may be dreary and boring ,
But it shaped you of what you are today .

If its not for what our forefather’s did , would you even get a chance to be what and who you are today ?

Would you be shopping freely?

Would you be eating J CO ?

Having computers and Internet?

For all I know , we could be one of the poor countries , short on water, food , gadgets , freedom.


History rocks !

That’s my thoughts on History .

Goodbye.

Feel free to contradict me , or drop by some comments.

Better yet,

Tell me whats the most important event that happened in your life BEFORE.
:) .

Goodbye.

    Cool post! Basically we wont exist if not for history..LOL..Here is a question..You hinted that history defines our identity to which I totally agree. But is the identity of a person only defined by history?

    Please do post something on what defines a person’s identity! Answer the question, who am I?

    PS: Most important event in my life is the time I got dengue fever on my final exams!
