History is a funny thing. There are usually two versions (sometimes more),
and the truth can usually be found somewhere in the middle.
The thing is, just because people have different accounts of historical
events, does not mean that either person is wrong, and you are correct
in saying that "We can’t ever change history. We can only change our interpretation of it."
We should not rewrite history for the sake of people's feelings.
We need to accept the history as it is, from all sides of it.
We cannot simply bury what we do not like about past events.
We need to remember the painful lessons so we do not repeat them.
Failure is the greatest teacher of all, and we must learn from the
failings of our fathers and their fathers before them.
We should not bury history, we must learn from it,
because failing to learn from it puts us at risk for
repeating the same mistakes.
