History

Reading a history book is reminiscent of reading an adventure novel. There are the friends and the enemies, the ones that could never be trusted, the loving couple who's break-up hurts not just themselves but their friends. There are twists and turns and tensions that explosively break. The only difference is once you get to the end of a history book, you aren't done with the story. When you're at the end of a history book, it's your turn to write the words on the page.

Trust

It's easy to look at those who trust everyone and laugh. Anyone who has the wisdom to mature a little knows that no one can be completely trusted. In the best case scenario, nothing is changed. In the real world, promises will be broken and tears will be shed. Only the few people who have the wisdom to mature a lot know that we have to do it anyways.
