When looking at event, what can we consider?

First, lets ask the right questions:

• who was involved (directly/indirectly)
• what happened?
• when did it happen?
• where did it happen?
• why did it happen?
• how did it happen?

The last two are most often the most difficult to answer. We must try to get ourselves into the event or into the person's mindset (so to speak).

How do we think about...... about a more current event ---- If someone looks on this event in 50 or even 100 years, how would they see it?

Sometimes we must try to seperate emotion from recent events and look events more objectively.
