Just Asking (21): do silent years of heroes speak?

Doesn’t matter what it is.
The script stays the same.

Heroes, individuals or corporations.
The same.
Books and videos about struggles, success, and legacy.
Hardly any look into their “unknown” years.

What I label as “silent years”.

But history as is known nowadays is written for the winners—that readers are given just the brighter side of the story.

Just consider:

Abraham put Isaac on the altar. But he got him back unscathed. Didn’t we know his thoughts as he walked with Isaac towards the sacrifice?

Joseph became second in command in Egypt and saved Israelites from famine. What did he leave behind about his struggles in prison before that?

Moses split the Red Sea and fed millions with mana for 40 years. What did his diary say in those 40 years before the burning bush?

David built the United Kingdom. What were his thoughts when he was on the run after killing Goliath?

Paul became the indisputable bearer of the Gospel to Gentiles. What’s known about his growth and inner struggles after meeting Ananias?

Even Jesus.
Crucified, rose, and ascended.
What did people know about the silent three days?

These pathways may not lead to anything.
Though it might.
But again, reward doesn’t lead research; it follows.

Where’s the focus on the Scriptures to just find out?
Where’s the interest and deep thinking to explore?
Where’s the contrarian attitude so essential to human discovery?

I’m just asking.
