Haha! I hope handwritten letters and old diaries will one day survive — and live on somewhere. I know I will be as equally happy if it is just one person from the day and era in which I lived — has something handwritten in a museum somewhere.
However, that is my personal fantasy since I love old handwritten shit, even now. I love reading old diaries that have been published — and it’s just a personal thing, I guess.
I must say that your mindset behind how things turn to dust — and why that is beneficial here and now — is beautiful. I really admire that viewpoint.
Burned on water with an fire arrow per chance? I personal would love to biodegrade under a tree? Or somehow naturally go back into the earth like compost. Slightly morbid thinking of things like that? Maybe it’s the people that don’t think about this that end up poisoning our ground water with formaldehyde from a body that they will never use again. Personal irritation.
Let's hope that is the right person huh?
I'm thinking a Viking funeral would be good...You know, someone firing a flaming arrow at my funeral pyre assembled on a longship...They can shoot the arrow, watch the flames for a bit as I slowly drift out to sea, and then get on with the party, and their own lives...After arguing over my hoard of silver. Lol.
It's either that or I insist on being taxidermied like a grizzly bear...That way they could hang coats and hats on me...I'd finally be useful.
Isn't that the truth. Goodness, I didn't realize the ignorance in some ways -- it DOES matter who, huh? That could change a lot. I love it. Great talking with you :) Loved this post, lots of great thoughts. Also loving it over here on HIVE.
When historians look into history they rely upon information and facts to corroborate others, without multiple perspectives it's difficult to do so...And of course, we all know history is written by the victor, or has in the past. It would be a sad thing to have only on one perspective recorded I think.
Anyway, have a good weekend. All the best.
