History

history is an interesting concept when you think about it.
history determines the present (if you believe it) that brings you to the question: if history was somehow different, what would our world be like? history seems to be set in concrete, there is currently no possible way that you can go back and change what has been, but that doesn't mean that at the time there were an infinite amount of paths that history could have taken. that is the interesting part.
what if history had chosen a different path at all moments in the past? imagine what sort of world we would have if, say, we immediately recognised all ethnic groups as equals, or if there was no WWII, or if the whole western concept of how the world should work had not been developed. the possibilities are endless.
this formation of history is being repeated at every moment a countless number of times, because we are all creating our own histories, we are all partaking in the creation of who we are simply by our choices.
it is amazing to notice that every decision we make, and have made, determines who we are. it means we should be aware of the power of our choice at all moments. there is not one decision that does not matter. we choose who we are by choosing whether or not to do certain things. by being aware that we have the power to form who we are, we become aware that we are in complete control of our lives and who we are.

peace be with you.
Patience, determination and faith.
