Welcome to part two of this week's podcast.

I have a question for you, Scott, as a historian.

Someone might say, well, how come they took five years to record this?

How come it took, you know, whatever amount of many years?

And then they assume that if something like this happened to them, they would write it

down immediately.

And I think sometimes our assumptions can, our assumptions about what we would do if

we were in this situation can get in the way of us kind of trying to put ourselves in

their position.

What would you say about that?

As a historian.

We ought to be really careful not to apply a 21st century perspective or assumption on

how we might act on individuals in a very different time and place.

We don't always know that the events that are happening in the instant are going to be

impactful in our future.

Obviously, one would expect, well, gee, that was a visit of an angel.

How could you not know?

Well, there's reasons they record what they do record and reasons they don't record what

they don't record.

I, a quick example, I'm a terrible journal keeper.

I could be better at it.

I need to be better at it.
