The third is what the people in power wanted the future to think happened and that is 90 percent of the history in books. ↗

A word, once it has left your mouth, it cannot be uncalled. It cannot be nullified. People don’t understand how strongly they’re tied down because of it. But they continue to use that lock. Words are something living and sometimes, it can even tie down a person’s life. ↗
