TOPIC: ISSUE48 - "The study of history places too much emphasis on individuals. The most significant events and trends in history were made possible not by the famous few, but by groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten."

We should have notice since we are young, everyone just wants to be some famous celebrities in history, and make some gorgeous distribution to the society in order to carve himself in the long run history. Pretty fantastic? Maybe. However it still inculcates us to chase our orient dream and get it real, whereas we forget, sometimes ordinary populace in their time are also changing history in their behavior, that means, not only the famous heroes but also normal guys consist of our long-time and sophisticated human evolving history.




How can i say that when most of us reckon that history or evolving is often leaded by arbiters. There are three basic points that insisting on that.

One of the five comes from evidence that indicates or tells us history what exactly how it happened. All the times it remind us that this event just happened with definite destiny instead of by the means of manipulation, it's cause consequence that attribute to all the people at that time who pushed it happen no matter if they intended or not. And then, as we knows, the one treated as hero in history is just a symbol of thousands of people who are off-stage of history exerting their efforts to prove our life, such as you often can see correspondents in the war reporting us the instant news there, but there still someone who take the cameras and someone who make sure all the things goes well, without them, I think, we can not see any famous journalists invideo on TV we like anymore during the emergent time.





No wonder we like to be the one that represents all, since only you can be memorized by tens of thousands of years or maybe forever, but who cares, I mean, after seas change into land and vice versa, do u think your offspring really care about the exact one in history. Yeah, you wish to be that guy, not only for your own ability, also for your vanity, which stands for our several fatal weakness of human nature. It's ironic, sadly true. No matter whatever you want to conceal, the essence of the ambition will eventually emerge. And I think this is the reason why people like to contribute the success basing on efforts of all men to someone in order to give them some hopes or ideals to go after to make themselves standout among human. Unreasonable but understandable.




Last one resides in the nature of our numb courage, handing over from generation to generation, without any exception, we are afraid if we don't have any chief leader, which also take the most dangerous situation than others, we just prefer to be a follower rather than a dominant leader. It's usual to find this truth in our history to elicit the evidence, as we knows, during the dark medieval period, people just don't dare to say out aloud about the science discovery under the shadow of the religion power, even some expenditioners failed who take the adventure of it.

We can focus on one guy that represents all of ones at his time, but we can never forget that Rome can not be built by one man.
