Currently, I'm watching the Inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th president of the U.S.A. As he is the 1st black American president to be officially elected by the people, it's definitely a symbolic and historic era for them at the States.
As I watch the screen on my tv, I wonder whether is such an event really significant in the human course of things. In 4 years, he'll be either re-elected or he steps down as President. Will he be honoured when he's done with his term, or will he be reviled? That's for us to find out in the future.
However, a more impactful history-making event to me is not an inauguration of someone powerful; nor a fall of an empire, but one of childbirth. History will be made everytime whenever someone is born, be it male or female, Asian or European. Even though one might think that they are insignificant, but one must remember; "you are the main character of the story which ou call 'life'".
