The way this is going, it seems that history cares about morals. As if the universe cares about morals, as if it could possibly even have a concept of them. It doesn't even make sense to ask if the universe cares because it's not equipped with any sort of consciousness, let alone one tuned to humanity's range of morals. This is assigning intent to history, to time and the universe. If I asked a personal question about something I was having troubles with, and then dreamed of an answer, that would be so obviously my own mind working out things on its own. It would be called growing as a person. It would be maturing and learning more about myself, and it does not mean "divine" intervention from the universe as a whole. I don't like disempowering humans. I don't like saying that they can't fix their problems as well as the rest of the universe can and they can't control tiny things like their wallets. Obviously, the greater universe doesn't care what I don't like-- it doesn't even make sense to say the universe doesn't care because is not a conscious thing. And in some sense it has fixed my problems, because I am a piece of it. My identity is an individual piece in the fractal of things, and so I am a part of everything.
I have already strayed from talking about history to talking about the universe, but it is my opinion that history(time) goes hand in hand with the universe. From what we know, time had its beginning with the universe-- which is dumb to say because the universe would require time to begin at all-- so.. well now I'm questioning whether the universe is required for time to pass. Certainly according to classical scientists it wasn't, time is just a clock that keeps ticking. But it isn't so with modern science. I don't know anything about this and invite you to share what you know, or if somebody else knows better.
My point is that it seems as though you are implying that:
- The Universe possesses a human's idea of a consciousness.
- The Universe recognizes the passing of time.
- The Universe cares about the passing of time.
- The Universe can alter time.
- The Universe is working towards some general goal in time.
It boils down to my not being comfortable with that. It gives too much room to be right about religious ideas.
