Facts have a compelling way of influencing us and strengthening or weakening our opinions. However, are all facts reliable? Is there a possibility that some opinions are misrepresented as facts? This has more context in a similar quote that says – until the lion learns to write, each story will glorify the hunter. […]

Thank you mate :). He he, I have a couple of history professors in my family too, even they tend to glorify the past as if it were some magic and like you said these people or kings were super human and stuff like that.

Thank you Fayaz. I think that is where the entire truth lies – in our interpretation and the implementation to our lives and eventually what we would like to make out of it.

Thank you Deeshani.. True, I think any story we come across will just be a representation and there is no real way of knowing. I guess that is where our conscience and logic come into picture so that we make the most sense of the half information provided.

It just depend on the perspectives. We will never come to know the complete truth behind it so it’s better leaving it to what it is. Great post, Vinay.
