living in ancient china mustve sucked you would go ask your neighbor if you could use his pitchfork cuz yours snapped in half and he would be like “my friend…..to borrow one thing is to borrow everything…” and he’d write it down and 3000 years later ppl just know you as dickhead the borrower
Few subjects can be quite so boring as history badly written or badly taught; no branch is more open to this than military history. A few people seem able to derive a satisfaction from studying the moves and deployments of armies without concern for the men who made and undertook them. While often wishing that I could find a little interest in such matters, I must admit that nothing sends me to sleep quicker than bald statements about the so-and-so division advancing along a certain axis, and passing through endless places which are rarely shown on any map. My concern is always to discover what the men taking part in the operation thought of it.

Not a rock THE ARKENSTONE
Why just one rock Why not three Why not the silmarils
