Much of the time, people who are experiencing history don't realize it in the moment. This isn't just true for big events, but also for the little ones: the smallish, everyday stuff that everyone looks back upon with half-smiles and wistful thoughts. I think that people, for the most part, have an incredible inability to step outside themselves to see where they stand in the bigger picture of time. I haven't lived very long, but the longer I live the more I'm starting to see this less as a personal opinion (that others seem to share) and more as an objective fact.
