Revisionist History

It’s almost as if the stories we’ve been told our whole lives were nothing but lies. Did we do this to ourselves? The Mandela Effect seems to be operating here.

Almost every other day, a new YouTube video or Facebook posting tells us that the person we thought we knew as a saint was actually a vile, nasty person. Do these things change our perspective? I think so.

In Wicked, Glinda comes across as a saint, according to the people of Oz. In the same story, Elphaba is painted as the ‘evil’ one. However, the story shows that both witches were actually something far different than their perceived histories. That makes the whole exercise one of a revisionist history.

Interesting, eh?
