All that, I just took historical elements

Post by jrineakter »

If I had survived these Napoleonic wars, in 1830, I would have been 48 years old. And in 1830, there was a great revolution in France. It was called "the second French Revolution". I would have been 48 years old. And if I had survived again, at 66 years old it was still a great revolution, in 1848. So, I would have lived a life of violence.

I don't take all the comfort aspects. Today, we have a tremendous comfort in our homes. We press a button, we have light, which was not the case, which would not have been the case if I had been born 100 or 200 years earlier. We have heating. Today, we say to ourselves: "Wow! The energy crisis means that petrol is expensive and gas is expensive etc." but yes, and it's terrible especially for, as usual, those who have the least means, but until proven otherwise, we don't lack it and I don't think we're going to lack it, I don't think there will come a time when we're going to say: "We can't heat our homes anymore because there's no more gas." I can't imagine it.

Maybe I'm wrong, but the fact remains that it would have been much more likely 100 or 200 years ago. It's true that gas was really not used at that time, but you see the point on which or in any indonesia whatsapp number data case the point that I want to emphasize is that today, we are pessimistic about things that did not even exist a time ago, a certain number of years ago.

I'm not talking about health either, where if you have the slightest pain, you have a headache, you take a pill, it gets better. You take Doliprane and it goes away. If you have a toothache, you have access to a dentist very quickly. And besides, we do prevention. I never had a toothache. I know that my parents suffered a lot from it, and at that time, it was normal.

So, we forget these things, but we see that the times we live in are not so bad. I was talking earlier about the fact that journalists tend to focus on the negative, but we still have access, and this is also a great opportunity, to information that is abundant. We have a lot of information, we can learn about everything, we have access to everything. And that is also a great opportunity.

Yes, I am aware of the problems that exist, but yes, I am very happy to have been born in 1982. Those of my generation have known only peace so far. I dare to hope that those who will be born in 2082 will say: "Wow! I am lucky to have been born in 2082 and not in 1982. Look at that time, they did not have what we have today."

There will most certainly always be this anachronism, but I really think and I have faith in humanity to always improve the situation. The human species is a somewhat special species. We remain animals capable of the worst atrocities, but we are also a species capable of so many beautiful things that I prefer to remain optimistic about the future rather than being pessimistic by only looking at what is wrong. That is a little bit of what I wanted to tell you today.
