McIntyre argues ” so the character in a history are not a collection of persons , but the concept of a person is that of a character abstracted from a History.” I like to think what he’s trying to say is the person you knew in history isn’t someone that you really knew because its in the past and they changed. They were only like that because of that period in time when they were trying to figure themselves out still. I don’t know about you but I enjoy looking back in my snap chat memories from 2017. I see the ridiculous clothes I thought were cute and the selfies as well. I like to think , yes that was me but not anymore. I was only that ridiculous person because that was the only thing I knew in that period of time. I know better and I grew up. Our past don’t define who we are as a person but just maybe small mistakes we made and regret, and yes people will argue ” but that’s still you”. Yes it’s still me but I grew and I changed for the better because I realized I am way better and smarter than too fuck up my life. That is why they call it History because it is in the past we will remember but sometimes that person in History maybe isn’t that same person in the present.
