+ April 30, 2021 “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” George Santayana (1863-1952), philosopher, poet and novelist, once said.
Can we ever know the whole truth about what really happened in the past? Can history ever be objective or even accurate? If we cannot defend our history, can we even fully understand where we are going and can century-old disputes that rely on particular versions of history ever be resolved? Can we actually trust history?
Many of us get our history from school text books. But how balanced are they? How do historians know about the past? What are their primary and secondary sources? In my case, when time will come that I will be gone, history will be very kind to me. Why? Because I will write my own history.
