I have come to a conclusion at this moment in time that the history I so dearly love is because of the amount of history there is. I have discovered in a normal lifetime it is impossible for one single person to know the history of every single modern day country and important person, let alone all the great people of the world that have past, as well as their countries. So my thirst for historical facts and figures is never satisfied therefore I continually pursue this knowledge. For example say I read a book about the Battle of Normandy (D-Day), for argument's sake lets make it Stephen E. Ambrose's book, "D-Day June 6th 1944: The Climatic Battle of World War II." You could spend a week or two if you take your time reading this book, and still be left not knowing many details, such as what was the reason "he" did this, or "they" did that, as well as all the underlining stories of each moment as well. I have discovered the ultimate reason for my love of history is to have that single worded question answered, "why." Why did this occur, why did "he" place his guns here, why did "they" choose June 6th, for the Normandy Invasion, why, Why, WHY!!! It continues on and on. I can almost certainly guarantee you, if, and when I finish gaining every major and minor detail I consider important to knowing the "spirit" of D-Day's history, I WOULD STILL BE WANTING MORE! I will leave it at that until another thought strikes me. So until then, ciao, see ya later, have a good evening.
