What is history?
History is the things that happened in the past that help to shape the future. Its only purpose is so that we can learn from it.
Thesis + Antithesis = Synthesis
Event 1 John, strongest kid in class, doesn't tie his shoes + Event 2 John picks on group of kids, bullying them. = Event 3 John chases the kids, but slips out of his shoe.
Event 1 John sprains his ankle + Event 2 John gets jumped on the way home from school = Event 3 John tries to run, hurting his ankle even more.
Event 1 John's mother takes him to the doctor. + Event 2 Doctor says that John's ankle is now broken. = Event 3 John gets a cast and has to use crutches, so he can't bully the kids anymore.
Yeats - History is like a gyre in the sense that there are events that go big and then small
Cyclical behavior (big, small, big small), but the events are always changing.
