A History in Retrospect

in historic •  4 years ago 

What is history? It is a person’s perception of the past.

So it must be shaped by that person’s experiences and biases. But what does this mean for other who did not have those same experiences?

I feel that others will see aspects of history that are quite different from each other. This then raises an important question; Is there any such thing as “history” or rather just many different “histories”? Perhaps different perspectives of a hazy truth.
