Post 5 memoir

Human beings don't have the power or the right to change history. Sorry not sorry but we only have the power to shape the future. It's not cool to change your past in order to try and make money. Like creating a fictional "Non- fiction" novel. That's such a joke. If you have to go back and change the facts to make them interesting enough to be in a story then the story isn't worth telling. Why not just publish it as a fictional piece and tell everybody it's based on your life or a historical event? That's the logical thing to do. Half- truths aren't okay. If everybody in the literary world started to beef up their stories and make themselves look like gods then there is no point in even reading a memoir. They're supposed to tell us the truth. Sure most people don't really care about whether or not some creative liberties are taken but when they find out that half your story is false then they start to get mad. Sure you might not want to have everything included in your book that actually happened but if your not glad to share it then I don't want to ere a lie in it's place. I understand that no story is ever told the same way twice, but when you start blatantly lying for your own benefit then it becomes dumb. But, it seems like everyone is doing it so I guess I'll go write a novel about how I single- handedly ended the Vietnam War in the 60s by using a laser gun that shot rainbows to make everybody love each other.
