Thinkable Thoughts

"History would be an excellent thing if only it were true."

-Leo Tolstoy
Russian author (1828-1910)

I wholeheartedly concur Mr.T!

Hey Louis! Thank you for dropping by my blog today! I appreciate your comment as well.
I agree with Mr. T Just recently I heard a news story about how our history books are filled with false information, or just inaccurate info. These are the same books they are teaching our children about our history in the schools. Why don't human beings understand that just because we re-write history doesn't make it so?
take care my new friend,
Julian :)

Hi Julian-
So true! Say you have 5 people watching the same event. You'll most likely have 5 different vantage points as well as points of view or interpretations of said event..........or not.

PS- Julian don't be a hopeless believer, be a believer-believer! ;^)

Lyn- THANKS for commenting, it's nice you dropped by. I'm all for the truth, although it can tend to be boring. I like to spice it up a bit as well. Keeps things creative & usually interesting.
