It is easy to be narrow minded when you dont have all the information.

The authors mention of Columbus made me think about how much of a bad guy was. Many historical events show us the true colors of people and it makes me think: were there any good people? I suppose history focuses on the big, rich figures, and rich people can often be greedy. There were probably great men who were lost to time.

Today this is a crazy thought to have because there is controversy in almost everything. I guess back then world peace didn’t seem unattainable. It was a simpler time.

If this was 2023 I wonder how much it has risen since then.
