History and the Past

The past consists of every second that passes behind each individual.  It is nameless time which serves as merely something that points to a notion that "I was there," or "That happened back when". There is nothing that significantly altered time by which the individual remembers, or the worldwide community as a whole feels a considerable effect. Nothing in the past is something which changed the course of time behind the individual or will change the future ahead of the individual. Controversially, history is the concept that we use to identify notable occurrences which perviously happened which adjusted the way the individual sees the world presently. In other words, without history, there would be no change in individual viewpoints of the world and everything would just lie in the past--the ordinary being the limitation of each individual. With just the ordinary things, there would be no procession in the world.  History is the notion of change in and over time, and is made only when individuals (or a collaboration of) take a stand and make a revision in time to realize what they envision, in contrast to what they presently see. Without history, no change would be made, therefore the past would overrule the present, and serve as a restriction to what can be changed; history happens when people refuse to accept restrictions and go beyond the ordinary boundaries of the past. Whether for good or bad reasons, and resulting with a positive or negative effect on the greater world, history is something which takes the individual and overall world by surprise, and serves as an education experience for all to understand what to continue, avoid, or eliminate in the future; the past has no prevalent result in the future.
