I agree to a certain extent but you forgot mostly we discuss and study people and their wrongdoings and achievements who have died. History is mostly about the past. Discussing about people's lives and what they do is discussed in Sociology and Psychology. Two big fields/subjects available to discuss everything and anything related to people and their encounters with other people in real life. I would not say life is history, I would say history is life.
So why make a distinction when both are so intertwined? I say you're taking my whole point wrong. i didn't mention history for the sake of discussing history i mentioned it because it was using it as a Boring moot point. To girls listening to boys with heavy voices! thats all!
