Of Vikings And Jellyfish
There is not a part of my body that's not aching right now. I'm all tired out after a day of sitting in front of the PC, trying to give the site a new and improved look.
I don't even want to imagine how it must have felt for a Viking coming home after a long day of fighting, pillaging and burning. One must have felt like death warmed up. And all there was to come home too, was your wife, the kids and a warm meal. No TV. No warm bath. No caffeine fix.
No luxury.
Modern day living has made us soft and spineless, like jellyfish swimming in a big global ocean. We complain about having to sit at desks, typing our lives away in temperature controlled office buildings. What hard lives we lead.
I think none of us would really like to go back to the time of sword and fable. No matter how romantic it might seem. For we were just not constructed to be part of that world.
