But by that time he was a university professor.... And had fought in the Great War.
Can we just have one nice moment where we think we might succeed in something please!? Just one!
While typing out that sentence, you probably had one nice moment where you thought you might have one nice moment to think you might succeed in something.
Probably.
For a millisecond, then it was taken away from me as quick as it came, like picking up a dandelion the wrong way.
Well, yeah, but you're a DUMBASS, so what do you expect?
A samurai always has permission to call someone a dumbass.
If it's anything to ya, Gaius Julius Caesar saw a statue of Alexander the Great and had an emotional breakdown -- Alexander the Great had conquered "the entire world" (or, well, the world as ancient greeks understood it) in his 20s and Caesar was 30 going on 40, and he was "just" a Roman General. -- He eventually did scorch his name into the annals of history, but he was over 45 when he did.
And like. We don't need to be Julius Caesar or JRR Tolkienn. It is more than enough if by the age they became legends you have figured yourself out just enough to be living instead of surviving, especially if, unlike them, you didn't get a head start by having rich parents. :P
Yeah, but has he dealt with gestures wildly to everything? Didn't think so. Tolkin's father was a bank manager, he was well off. Who here can say the same?
World War 1 was a pretty shit time to be alive. Sure, his family had dosh, which probably protected him a bit.
... But when the world is going to shit (and it HAS gone to shit, many times before), it goes to shit universally.
After WW1 there was the Great Depression and a lot of people (including plenty of old money folks) lost their everything. -- And right after that there were the Nazis. Y'know, the original Nazis, the ones that the current US government is trying to imitate. They seem to respawn whenever a capitalist nation is in crisis, I'm sure that's just a coincidence.
Do not fall into the trap of "the good old days" because that is, ironically, how fascists get you. The past was awful, in different ways but awful.
