People are so agitated today. I wonder if they would relax if they read more history.

When you know enough history, you stop seeing yourself as an endpoint and more of a midpoint, you know? Tossed to where you are by the past, casting your own waves out at future generations. Don't you think.

Nah.

If people read more history, they'd be far more relaxed about the short term and far more terrified of the long term.

The long term will not only kill them, it will make their social views quaint, their greatest concerns trivial and their scope of reality into an anthill built in a heap of dung.

Tomorrow's news will be the same as today's, but history will one day shame them, mock them, and finally, like a clipped toenail, cast them aside.

Well, what should we read if we want to be happy?

I stick to comics, personally.
