Frankly, there is not something much more frustrating than to listen to someone make an argument about current events that has no foundation in history. Or, in other words, to quote Daniel Patrick Moynihan, "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own set of facts.”
So what will this blog be about?
Meandering: To proceed by or take a winding or indirect course. One post may focus on current events in the US, the next may bring to focus an important lesson from Roman History, another may detail historical fashion trends that have a significant impact on how we present ourselves today.
Through: A road or a course that has no hindrance, interruption or obstruction. It will be a circuitous movement or journey. Almost like a time machine.
History: The branch of knowledge dealing with past events that have shaped our present and will shape our future.
There are so many books I read, podcasts I listen to and other sources of interest that I explore. I definitely plan to share my thoughts on all of those.
I'll be blogging about current events at times with the added context. Will share perspectives of what I am reading and anything else that might be relevant.
