If I do not write this, who will?

The answer, of course, is somebody. Somebody, sometime between now and then, will have thought of this and will start to right.

Or maybe someone already has.

I never consider the of course. To me, things of course are meant to be driven off course. I’m not an anarchist; I just despise people who believe in predetermined fate.

So, with all due respect, somebody has thought of this. But will not start to write. Because, of course, things do not happen of course.

And so will begin my tale and tale of tales on the goodliness of mankind. Too much have we dwelt on the evilness of man, too much have we had sick-sweet-make-us-gag good moments shoved down our throat like some thick syrup goo.

But of course, what must be considered when looking at the history of men (and, for the feminists among you, women) is that for every event, for every period, every person has a separate viewpoint. To the Germans of the 1920s, the Armistice of WWI was an evil act. To the English, French, and Americans - a good one. So, where does the line between evil acts of men and good acts of men lie? Or is there, as many people suggest, no such thing?

As I sit and ponder this, I can come only to the conclusion that if I am to go forward I must state that if I were to list the good events, things, places, achievements, and people of history, I must append that this is my viewpoint and that there is in all possibility someone who will disagree with me.

But the goal remains, mostly intact. I cannot begin to catalogue all the 'good' events in the history of men, but I can list a few that I consider to be the good events in the history of men. Or maybe I should limit it to events that people of this day can relate to, events that could very easily happen to them. Maybe I should ask the other people of this day if there is an event that occurred in their lives that they considered being a good event. Because even if nobody was to learn about this event in the teller's tale, the memory for that person would be recalled - and misfortune of this day of uncertainty temporally banished.

I have pondered not long on this question, but I have seem to have changed course already. But of course. However, this does bring a quandary, as I do not have any tales to tell of my own that I would consider good events.

Or, rather, I did not until I started asking. And being touched by the memories that I was allowed to share.
