History, his story and hi-story

History, his story and hi-story. What do you see in history? Is it merely an event or an interpretation of event? History as we know are learned from thick dusty books in the library. Books telling the story of what happen at a particular situation. Do you believe in history and learn from it? Imagine history as a cube of cheese with holes in it. How to interpret the cheese? Only from one view? Or the full six-sided view? Think about it.

Always been fascinated by history, I learned a lot about the way people are from their history and heritage. Medieval times, Renaissance, dark ages, the Industrial movement, Reformation and the likes of Machiavelli, Erasmus, and More, are just some of the things I remember reading about. The centuries of kings and queens are particular interesting to learn. So, I stumble across the TV series The Tudors and decide to watch it. Just to decide how much it is true and whether the history text book we used in school are accurate. Sadly I just learned that the newer text are much shorter therefore less history. It was unbelievable to learn that highschool youths doesn't know what 'The Enlightenment" are! They don't even know who Descartes, Hume, Paine, Rousseau and Voltaire were. Such a waste of knowledge.

So if you're up for a bit of history, look up The Tudor. From what I learn, you can see what happened centuries ago are not to much different as in today times such as:

• Vile individuals using power to get what they want.
• Using beliefs as reason for self importance.
• Man justifying affairs as easy as eating bread.

But from history, we learn. Therefore because we learn, we hopefully would not repeat history. So check out the series if you're interested and look out for Sir Charles Brandon! Played by Henry Cavill.
