History
History is the study of past events. It finds its roots in the
first depictions that we, as people, have been able to formulate as the
beginning of the universe, and in this linear narrative, we find humanity in
the heart of modernity, a time which is known present in the days we now live
as people. The story of humanity, as well as the whole of the universe, finds
genesis in what has been theorized as the ‘Big Bang Theory’, and with this
theory, there arises a step by step means by which to gauge the progression of
existence from its start to where it resides today.
History is wrought with givings liken to that above, and over the
course of its documented progression, a powerful truth has manifested in the
lessons it has imparted and continues to impart in kind. These lessons are mere
statements which are summated by the understanding that history is what defines
the present. All things which have occurred in the past are the sole
constituents of what continues to be known as the present day. In this wisdom,
there resides an infinitesimally integrated element of profundity and
applicability, for if one wishes to live and move with the world in its throes,
one must strive to learn from history by building upon the lessons one learns each
day.
Given the above, it can never be written enough that history and
philosophy are two parts to a balanced whole, due to the capacity to
consistently, incessantly, and relentlessly bridge the two fields with elements
of wisdom and past events. Wisdom arises in the current moment from actions in
the past, and this relationship is one that articulates the steady cyclicality
of life. History is the story of the past, and philosophy gifts lessons from past
events as interpretations which articulate the embrace of the two fields.
There is no shortcoming in the above statement, and as the two
continue to grow and compound in complexity from their basis of interrelation,
they inevitably exhibit the perpetual orchestration of developmental
fundamentals. It is in these base givings that harmony finds root, as the
integral elements of life come to blossom as reflections of the past and the
possibilities of the future.
