I've read a little about it recently. They really believed in their religion back then. Cromwell was physically brave because he thought he was going to Heaven if he died. Charles faced his execution bravely because he believed he had behaved correctly and was (be)heading towards the next life.
Im basically on Cromwells side inside of england. But he turns into a shitty colonizer the second he steps onto Irish soil. Im sympathetic to the “plain” religious movements of that era.
^notice how every comment this guy makes is to tear someone else down in an attempt to elevate himself. He has nothing else to say except “You suck, Im the best”. Classic Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Driven by envy of everyone else. So sad.
Youre the one with daddy issues. Why’s your mom not married to your dad? Why are you not married to your baby momma?
Im from a normal white family. My parents never divorced. I talk to my dad every day. Jealous? Yeah of course you are.
Spare us the midwit roastie drivel, hag. You've never been loved by a man and it's driving you to madness in your old age. Useless-eaterdom seems to suit you. It'll be ok.
Growing up I used to HATE it. Now it's the only thing I read for 'pleasure'.
I know it's gay but everything pertaining to the present just bums me out.
The preface of name of the rose comes to mind:
And so I now feel free to tell, for sheer narrative pleasure, the story of Adso of Melk, and I am comforted and consoled in finding it immeasurably remote in time (now that the waking of reason has dispelled all the monsters that its sleep had generated), gloriously lacking in any relevance for our day, atemporally alien to our hopes and our certainties.
I now realize the version of history I was taught in school was full of lies. Ive learned enough at this point in my life to have strong opinions about most events in history, though I know I have a lot more to learn.
Its been awhile since I read Name of the Rose. A few decades. I vividly remember crying my eyes out while reading the closing paragraphs of that book. What a great historical novel!
That seems like it isn't necessarily the case, although it could be in pathfinding exercises where your destination is relative to origin, as in cases of buried treasure where you have to walk a certain number of steps in various directions.
What I dislike about it is the inference of no agency. As in, your self in the current moment can't have identifiable desires or preferences without consulting one's memory of times past.

You are incapable of making any comment which isn’t an attempt to cast aspersions on someone else.
Driven by envy

Knowing what I know about Africa has been useful in modern society. It helps wake up the whites to know what really went on.
