1984 - significant passage

"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'" —pg 32
If every people believe 1+1=3, then it is true. Whoever discovered or made it first gets to justify what truth is. The first person who made one plus one equals two got to spread the truth that he made and has been passed down since now. This world is made up with rules and laws. If the first person decides to use pen as an ear-pick than it probably had been ear-pick. Even naming is a law that was made. If the person who made the first desk decides to call chair instead of desk, then we probably had called it chair. So whoever made it first in the past gets to control the present and future. I think that is one of this reasons why people want to invent their own product. Even species people name after their name. If you find new species or an animal you get to be the one who gives the name. This passage teaches somewhat life lesson. Right at this moment can be present to be but when this blog is posted it will be past. Whatever you do now will be the past. To control the future you should control your decisions that you make right now which will eventually become past. Don’t make stupid decisions that can ruin your future. Think before you act.
