There's really important, it's called critical thinking number one and critical reading.

Who is writing this?

Why are they writing it?

And what is their point of view?

And what do they have to gain or lose from writing this?

That is a really important thing to look at, especially in these days on the internet where it's like, is this true?

Where is this coming from?

Why is it coming to me?

Why am I being served this?

And what are they trying to do?

So we have to look at the author's point of view, because history is written from the winner's perspective most often, or whoever's writing it down is telling the story.

So there's always things and pieces of information that they can spin or tell us, and we don't often get to see the other side of that story.

Right.

So a lot of times when I'm on here, I'm thinking...

Why are they saying it this way?

What are they trying to do?

And are they telling the truth?

Most of the time, I'm just like, yes, they're telling the truth.

But that's a dangerous thing to just assume everyone's always telling the truth.

And she's telling her perceived truth.
