The tricky thing about history

History can be tricky. To most history is just remembering dates and taking a class required for the sake of being required. If you asked, most would say history is not important, at least not important enough to need to take a class over it. If you asked most, many would say they don't care for history at all. Most will say its boring and useless.

But there is a problem with history. One that most of us may not notice. Its a conundrum.

The conundrum that if you teach history, it only breeds more hatred because you just planted an idea in their head. Having to learn history may keep certain issues alive. But if you do not teach history you then run the risk of repeating it and that could be much worse than before.

History is a tricky subject not just because you are trying to find answers where there is no one alive to tell you them, on top of the fact that you may just never know what really happened because you were not there.

History is exactly what they say..."his story" in other words, history simply is "he said she said" it all comes down to trying to figure out the facts followed by the opinions of those who were there, the hard part is that one may only have those opinions to go on.

But history is troubling in the fact that one is damned if they do and damned if they don't.
