Rethinking History

The Daughter of Time
by Josephine Tey
1951

As the old proverb says,
"Truth is the daughter of Time."

Now, I didn't really get that meaning
until I read Tey's novel of Richard the III.
The man that is known as a historical murder.
Even Shakespeare made an excellent play of it.
And yet, here Tey points out, what makes that story so true?
I mean, now to think of it, where did that story root out of?

History, we may say,
but here is a Tey saying, are you so sure of that.
We live in a world with too much information,
and thus assume too much of that information as flat out truth.
I wonder how much history or so called "truth" that we know of
is not the actual "truth."

"Truth is the daughter of Time"
Time will tell the truth.

So, tell me, what do you see in this portrayal?
Is he really just a man with such murderous look?
Give a full minute, and look back.
Are you sure that your first instinct was right?





Maybe, we are all blinded by our presumption stated by nature around us. Much of what we define as the Truth seems to have just rooted out from our imagination and hope of seeing a certain thing in a certain way. Give some time, maybe we will be deeply disappointed. But don't let that time comeover you. You might get too discouraged to see the REAL TRUTH.
