Long ago, I noticed a sad truth in the “Truther” community.

There is a heavy tendency towards the large, wide-angled view of history and research etc.

Buildings, photographs, lists, graphs, percentages, dates, sweeping subjects like philosophy, cosmology, architecture, science, death, rumours, narratives etc.

I was once totally totalled by a nasty, ignorant trollbot in a comment section after I mentioned that I’d walked with the beggars in Karachi and experienced a small part of their existence.

The reply came back, something like : Oh. And so you think that we have to go somewhere and live in the dirt to actually know what we’re talking about?

Well. It helps. It’s called “Walking in the Footsteps.”

I might’ve been with the ancestors of centuries of beggars, walking centuries old streets and smelling the same smells as the people of the past smelled.

So few modern researchers ever anchor their theories and pronouncements into a human life. A living breathing person…not that different to you or I.

They’d’ve been created and born the same way that we were. They’d’ve lived a life – long or short, like we do. They’d’ve died – peacefully or violently, alone or with loved ones, like we do.

I Am NOT a NUMBER (?)

I Am NOT a Statistic (?)

PEOPLE make History!
