History narration

The history courses might and maybe should be narrated as the history of art and science and not the history of rulers and wars. The acts of creation should be in the light of our attention, while the acts of power and destruction should not be celebrated and the names of the criminals should not be remembered. We can talk about wise and benevolent rulers, sure, but it should take the place after telling about what was invented and how, and what was created by artists and how. It is important that the most celebrated and well-known people are the ones who created something, invented something or at the very least supported invention and creation. Doing something constructive should be the ultimate goal.

I believe the same could be done, at the very least by myself, with the perception of the news at any moment. I don't want to feed the clickbaiting websites with my attention. I don't want to feed the evil (what I personally perceive as evil) with my attention. I want the constructive things to be the most important and I will give them the most of my time and thoughts. A friend on social media knitted a sweater, drew a sketch, finished a painting, cooked a dinner, wrote their thesis - this I am going to celebrate and prioritise. This is what will get the first place and a lot of space in my mind. Politicians doing things I don't like are going to be somewhere in the end of my attention list, insignificant and small and not deserving of my time. Even if their actions require action from me - I don't want it to take more space in my mind than reqired to actually do something.
