It sucks, but it's true. I can only name a few generations back, and even if I learned more names, the people who they identify would be obscured by time.
I assume in another 200+ years, no one will remember my name either, and that's OK. It's just the way it is.
I just wish I could be buried in the same casket as my wife, but that's illegal, "because you can't bury a living person." Smfh. 😒
@Humpleupagus@feralphilosophernc@PNS@WTFPurpleAlpaca I watched a video on a crime channel on YouTube about a girl that was murdered while a teen. Expecting to see the parents devastated at funeral they just robotically explained how she was the best cheerleader and her exceptional talents as a cheerleader. There wasn't any emotion to see in their faces. I couldn't detect grief with my eyes. Just a desire to concentrate enough to be able to tell how great a cheerleader she was. Funerals are weird sometimes. I think there is some emotional cultural differences between different countries even inside Europe besides US states
The year of our Lord 1140. The king [Conrad] besieged the city of the duke Welf of Bavaria, which was called Weinsberg, and accepted its surrender, having granted with royal magnanimity permission to the wives and other women found there that they might take with them whatever they could carry on their shoulders. Taking thought both for their loyalty for their husbands and the safety of the others, they disregarded their household goods and came down carrying the men on their shoulders. When Duke Friedrich said that such things should not happen, the king, showing favour to the women's cunning, said that it would not be fitting to change his royal word.
