But, deep in her heart she knew more than what the words read or heard seemed to say. She knew that every letter in every word in every war bulletin was, somewhere, first written in blood of men, of human beings, who had once smiled and sung songs, eaten, drunk, slept and loved. Kate Seredy
About This Quote

A country’s history is like a war bulletin. It tells the stories of the battles they fought and how they overcame. Our own country’s history is full of war reports that describe what happened in the past and how each battle was won or lost. The characters in our books, films, or plays are often based on famous people or events that people remember.

That is why we remember them for so long. But, do we always know all the details of what they did? I think it is safe to say that the majority of us do not. The most important things in life are often things we do not know about or even notice until it is too late. Sometimes, it is hard to see a mistake until after a few years have passed away and we’ve forgotten everything about what happened.

So, when one day you suddenly realize you were wrong about something, make sure you make your apologies to those who were hurt by your actions before you try to move on with your life.
