I saw a number of articles this morning with lead-offs along the lines of “we’ve got to come to terms with…” in our history. I find it tiresome.
The difference between fact and fiction is that fiction needs to make sense. Real people and the real past are full of contradictions and twists and turns.
I always come to terms on my terms.
“Coming to terms” is in danger of becoming an auto-antonym. It’s starting to mean using the past as a club to beat over the head of the present.
I haven’t’ been watching the new closely lately, is there something I missed that prompted this post?

Oh yeah, that’s annoying.
