History does not study the past, it builds it. Every national history is mythology, and mythologies serve to structure people's minds. History has always been a weapon, a political tool, a psychological speech, and that is because it has always been written by those in power in order to legitimize it. Today there is talk about transformation in Mexico's history: independence, reform, and revolution. They all involved war, polarization, and hatred; each of them generated division and sowed the seeds of subsequent conflicts. But in order to transform Mexico, there must be a collective change of mindset, having the common good as an indispensable premise to achieving peace. The Myth of the Three Transformations is a walk-through history and through our own way of thinking so that we can achieve a true transformation and build the best Mexico possible.
