I've been reading a lot about the Knights Templar in the last day or two. The history, even with its holes (maybe because of them), is really interesting. Last night I was reading about Philippe's campaign against them, and I was thinking about how people tend to assume the worst of mysteries. And then the stories build up one on top of another until the truth is obscured and maybe lost.
Is it human nature to imagine the worst and make it true? Words make so much more sense than people do.
I think I'll go read again a while.
