Historians are just obsessive individuals who like puzzles, and are stubborn enough to stick to their beliefs. Good historians are exactly as bad ones, except they are clever enough to see the truth and points of others. The best historians have been through enough in their lives to accept that they will never be right entirely.
Historians like doctors, and scientists, and mathematicians alike, enjoy puzzles. They like to puzzle over things that puzzle them, to puzzle others, and like puzzling over problems even more than solving them. I for one believe that no problem is ever solved for good, but that’s a whole other can of beans and I am already full.
I came here to be a scientist, to not scrutinize over details, but take events as a whole and observe them, and well.. puzzle over them till something dawns on me.
…. something dawned on me. We are not explained in words, words don’t explain emotion as fluently as it flows. We are not depicted by pictures, as pictures explain emotion – not events facts or history. We are not motion pictures, as in order to truly understand each other as if we had lived the same life, it would need for an infant to watch a 3D motion picture for their entire life, of my entire life for them to understand and even then that is debatable.
We are not words, pictures, movies, visual art forms, not even performance art forms, our lives are performance art forms but they are not us.
We are everything but they are not us, in the same way that squares are rectangles but rectangles are certainly not squares. Rectangles are too big and they encompass too many proportions that are not squares for it to be possible for them to be squares. An event, as small as you can think, can be interpreted in more ways than we count, and we can encompany all of these sides, which makes us too large, and too flexible to be a square.
We are simply human, we are sentient beings. Nothing we create can amount to who we are, only other sentient beings can do that, and as far as I know our mad scientists aren’t so mad to try creating clones! … so far.
Thank you for reading this post about geometry and really obvious but life changing realizations. -come back soon for another wierd revelation!
