This may not be the usual kind of question that gets asked here, but it does strike me as fitting.

I'm a history major myself, and I figured I should put mine forward first.

For me, history is the grandest story we have. Not even ever told, because it is told by many and noone. It is interpreted by many, but there is no singular teller. It cares not for story convention nor expectation, but as something crafted by humans, creatures of story and song, there will always be those flurishes. The gay irish nationalist who, in his trial called for the freedom of not just the irish, but everyone of all races, harkening back to his work to free the Congo from King Leopold's rule. The baffled chain of command unable to comprehend that there was no ring leader of the 50 drafted british pacifists in world war 1 who refused to fight or take orders.

It is utterly fascinating to delve into our species storied past on this planet, and for me that is what I find engaging.

So, tell me about you.
