The Poignant Story of History : A fiction or a Tale
Last night, on my way back to home, I saw the History lying stewed and weeping, in the form of the countenance and grizzle of young pupil. On hearing the poignant story of history, I could not stop myself from revealing the stark nature of history, in the form of this epistle.
The denotation of history is a mere simple n sweet truth, but the connotation of the same by various historians is a perverted jibe. Meek historians have royally perverted the History. History doesn’t lie in the hands of such meek and stubborn historians. It’s no more the time to connive the facts of true history.
The mankind has been the cause for the mercenary history. Why is there such antipathy in knowing/learning what history is? It can only be the mere misconception of what history is that could possibly avert us from learning it.
At birth we enter a world, which we did not create, and which we come to understand only in part, and then only gradually, with time, in our own day, our awareness of that world extends beyond household, neighborhood and region to encompass many other parts of the world All aspects of our existence are products of much longer periods of development, and their continuity and change remain only dimly evident to us until we begin to learn something about the past.
History is not merely the study of our ancestors & Societies, nor the collection of the lame facts and records. The true value of history lies in the science of what it discloses about the world that we live in. It’s the mirror that presents itself as a true friend to guide us in all walks of life. It presents itself with the bunch of percepts, that we generally encounter in the search of defining the meanings to the human acts and regulations. It provides us with the list of litigations that forewarn about the consequences of our several acts. It is even the true portent for all our deeds. History provides the ready solutions to the most of our practical and existential problems that we less or more often encounter.
History is the only Science, of whom the Science is unknown of its origin; it’s also the only subject/object that’s immortal. Everything that evolved or the evolutions lay in the hands of History, but History though not a self-evolutionay, marks its own evolution in the evolution of this world.
History may not be ingenious, but is definitely ingenuous. History though may not be a panacea, but it’s definitely the treasure of bounty knowledge. One may deprecate the artifacts of history but cannot depreciate the norms of History.
When the Science fails to guide us, it's solely the Jurisprudence of the History that can lead the mankind further.
