Daily writing prompt
What historical event fascinates you the most?

Nice try!

You won’t get me this time!

I’m not falling for the banana in the tailpipe, WordPress Rollaprompt…

If all I could think of last time was Fabio getting hit in the face by the duck, how could I have possibly seen anything more memorable to fascinate me, in such a short period of time?

I think that the reason I refused to be serious the last time I was asked about historical events, was because it felt rather depressing to write about history, when no one seems to be learning from it!

Media has warped and tainted so much of humanities actual history, seeking the truth is like navigating through the sewer, in my personal opinion.

So, unless I was there on the scene to actually witness it, I don’t really feel like writing about it. I write about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit nearly every day, though few will believe, but if only one does… then its far more valuable to write on those things, which my faith leads me to believe to be the truth.

Fascinating???

I find it amazing that even to this day, leopards have spots… they are born with them, just like they were in history long ago… spots are still there… fascinating!

While I am sure there are a great many fascinating things in our worlds history, there are a good number of fascinating things in our current history…

One of which is the fact that WordPress still seems unable to correct the issue of the prompt question disappearing.

Two of which is the fact that we just had a question that asked if what historical events we remembered. I noticed a very somber atmosphere the entire day out on the feed. We are all pretty friggin miserable with the way of things in our world right now… forget about rehashing historical blunders and kerfuffles, and not too many seemed overly eager to dive in and answer that prompt.

The word Fascinating can be interpreted loosely in the heart of a man… it just depends upon which man is looking at the history!

Thirdly, I find it rather sobering that even today, we really don’t change… not really. Maybe on the surface we act as if we have risen above our own ignorance of mind or heart… but inside, it is easy to hide things that linger… like hatred, jealousy, deceit, malice. Similar to a leopard, I think we will always keep our spots… they just blend in neatly beneath our fur!

WordPress could do better for us all perhaps, if they posed the prompt question as, “What historical events did we as humanity learn from and change for the better”? Maybe lead with that next time…

Here, have a cookie shaped like a Blueberry Muffin…
