I know you're right but it's so fucking gut wrenching. All the blood spilt by our ancestors all the pain, struggle and torment endured by them so that the torch could remain lit and passed on. If they saw how it would all unceremoniously end they never would have bothered. Supposedly when Constantinople finally fell Constantine took off his royal clothing and joined his soldiers in one last death charge against the Ottoman forces. I think about that a lot.
