i suppose secret service agents are something like knights of old except without the quests. they must serve the ruler of the land whether they like the ruler or not, and are prepared to die for that person.
it’s a shame many aspects of chivalry and romance are more or less dead in these modern ages. not that the chauvenism is missed, but the common courtesy and the idealism are. not that we don’t have our own forms of idealism, but they are so much more political now. or if not political they lack the innocence of days past. many people today speak of true love and are sorely disappointed when the person they choose is far from perfect.
modern life goes very fast. so fast that many don’t know which end of the sword to grab. think of it. it used to be people spoke of the ages of man, and how different times were. more recently they spoke of different generations. now i speak to young people just 10 or 15 years younger and it is hard to relate to them in many ways. is this my inability to cope with change? i don’t think so. i think it’s more a matter of what the culture and technology they interact with in their youth as opposed to what existed when i grew up. i can’t even imagine what my grandmother makes of the world we live in today. they didn’t even have radio when she was a girl.
anyways, it’s december, which used to be the tenth month until we got two months named after julius and augustus caesar. now it’s the twelth month and already it’s time to say goodbye to another year. a long time ago i heard someone say that as you get older the years pass quicker. at the time i could comprehend this, but now i’m actually experiencing it. facinating.
