[ WP ] You go back in time , not to kill Hitler , but to rewrite the big books the Bible and Quran to save mankind from future wars .

I tried. 
 Desperately, I tried, again and again and again. 
 
 My goals were lofty at first. A narrative to be told for generations. I imagined stories that would be told over and over, passed on and spread out, allowing mankind to flourish through an overarching theme of humanity. I would reappear, time after time. To give wisdom, hope and power to those who would spread my stories. 
 But they fought and destroyed and killed, and in my youth I grew angry. I spread plagues and gave them divine favor, almost in the same breath. Despite all this: failure. I told them to mark my words! I carved my scripture in STONE. But all for naught. And so, I gave up those who catalogued and wrote my teachings, on my chosen people. 
 
 
 
 And I started anew. Surely, one just man could save the world. I taught them self sacrifice, the meaning of humility. I chose a common name, and the most common of professions. I did not stop there. I healed and fed them, well beyond the mortal bounds of one man. But they still craved war and power, even beyond the most meaningful sacrifice I could give them. 
 
 
 
 Wearily, on my last attempt, I decided to show them how to use power properly. I rose quickly through the ranks, first as a merchant ( with the aid of my beautiful Fatima, rest her soul ) and later as a military leader, conquering without the terrors of conquest, fighting without succumbing to the inhumanities of war. I told my followers not to write my teachings, feigning illiteracy. I had hoped that the lessons, not the scripture, would be passed on, and that common sense would allow man to use my wisdom without stifling his own mind. I was wrong. 
 
 
 
 When I returned from time, I found nothing had changed. With horror I realized I had created the hell that I'd fought so hard to stop. With heavy heart, I lowered my head and wept. 
 
 
 
 It had all been in vain.
