There's no way to escape it. The way we view the past depends upon the context within which we as observers try to make sense of it all.
Historical events are chaotic and completely random, but in retrospect there is always some way to define a predictable pattern that makes connecting the dots of time more than just an academic pursuit.
Projecting our own meaning on the world around us is human nature and more than likely is a result of evolution and the need to survive.
Two events seem related in retrospect while the defining moments between the first event and the second was at the time no more than a gap of silence.
To experience is one thing but to analyze and predict based on the past is another ballpark altogether.
