| | | The history can not be changed.. past is past, but what can be changed is the way it is told to us.
history is always written by the winners, and so.. it could be "wrong"
we can never know if what they tell us is real.. but we can know a bit more if we investigate in the past

| | Ya its pretty much what Hada said...
Technically we could change history if the history books were changed... people would learn different things. It is possible since science books are changed all the time when new discoveries are made... but there is a difference between science and history so...
Good question Keichi

| | | We change history everyday by making our choices in life. Choices effect people and therefore effect our future. So history changes every day (atleast personally).

We make choices every day of our lives. Each choice opens the door to other choices...and for better or worse, our lives are the sum total of our decisions.

| | | Unless you changed every history book and the minds of every person... nah.
I mean technically if you want to change the past all you need to do is believe differently than everyone else... then its a different past for you.
We dont know that the past is really what it is anyway, all we go by are things written in those times, things we find... For all we know those things that we find that look official could be written by some 12 year old... lol...
This is why I like science.. not history. lol

| | | So then if history as you put it is subjective, can we really trust history at all? | |

| | | Nope... everything we believe.. whether it be religion, or history... all depends on one thing... faith. Faith in God when it comes to religion and faith in those textbooks when it comes to history.

| | Hm... well actually I know this might sound crazy but...
When I look at things like that.. even things in every day life..I like things to be plain and simple.. it seemed like the majority of the avatars were too busy or didnt apply to anything that I like.. so i went with the most plain thing i could pretty much.
