Is History Written By The Victors?

The young me is dead.
The me now has flashing memories of who me was.
The who me was is not necessarily the who me really was.
I have created a personal mythology about me to sustain a continuity, to keep a fragile link between yesterday and today, to pretend to myself that I'm the same person.
In reality, the who me was is dead. My personal mythology is just that, myth, and now I just believe my own propaganda.
Historical revisionism is all too easy as you progress in age. There's something seductive about it, pretending to be something you weren't, something you wish you had been.
As witnesses disappear, my version of events goes unchallenged, my version of events grows warped, my version of events becomes the only version.
My history is written by me, not so much a victor as a survivor, but you can trust me to tell it like it was because me was there...

I Beg Your Pardon

'Look, another beggar.'
'That's not a beggar.'
'Sorry?'
'Well, he's not begging, so technically he's not a beggar.'
'What is he then?'
'Well, maybe he's broken away. Maybe he wants nothing from us. Maybe he prefers to live outside the social comedy that the rest of us follow. Maybe he has decided that the system we live in, far from being free, is actually a cage. Maybe he has decided to find happiness via creative contemplation instead of believing he needs to find it via material goods.'
'Look, he has a little cup...'
'You're right, the bloody freeloader. And he smells.'

For Everything to Stay The Same Everything Must Change

Change is the only constant.
If you want everything to stay the same, you have to change with it.
So if you want to change, maybe you shouldn't.

How To Make Your Blog More Popular

Apparently, one way of making a blog more popular is to give the reader something, to make him/her feel like he is learning something by reading it.
One way of doing that is to write 'How to...' posts in which useful information is imparted.
This is my first one. Hope you found it useful.
