Whatever happens is perfect

dead British soldiers at the battle of Fromelles, 1916

you've heard me saying "whatever happens is perfect". here's why:

* in actuality (as something happens) global cause and effect cannot be undone.
* in actuality (as something occurs) global agent decisions cannot be undone.
* once something happens there are sufficient reasons for it to happen. 

a) as per history:

* history is one big glunk (the whole history is one big history of little histories), 

yet,
* history is not the summation of all events (since not all events are, or will be recorded in history), 
* history is not in time, since time is not a bucket/container of anything, 

rather,
* time is a mode of being of reality: time is the becoming of reality. 

as a result,
* from the future we cannot cherry-pick globally (while ignoring local regions),

b) as per necessity:

* whatever happens necessarily happens (otherwise SOMETHING ELSE would happen),
* what happens supervenes on the agents contributing the diverse processes including the agents themselves,

c) we get a distorted view of the past through PRESENTISM:

* presentism is the distortion that the present is normatively better than the past,
* the past cannot be retrofitted into a principle of satisfaction: it is what it is,
* the past can only be understood as IT WAS, not as a subjunctive modality ("it should've been" this or that). 
* to understand the past ONE HAS TO GO TO THE PAST, rather than bring the past to the present.
