I love the old Mummy films so much.
Reading up on Napoleon's relationship with Josephine got my tear ducts flowing man.
He insisted that she be called Empress, even after their divorce.
When she died, he locked himself in his room on Elba for 2 days.
His last words before his death were "France, the Army, the Head of the Army, Joséphine".
Their generation(s) seem to think that everything can be bought. Everything.
Even the love/comfort that is meant to be the exclusive realm of the parent.
It's so fucking sad, and yet they see that level of hyper-materialism as a good, laudable thing.
What the fuck has gone wrong with the world...
It amazes me how many Boomer/Gen-X parents don't seem to understand that actual parenting involves being able to offer emotional/mental/psychological support to your children.
Indeed, a child seeing that all their parents do is throw money at them to solve their personal/private problems is not going to turn out well. At the very least, they won't have a positive opinion of their parents.
I don't know man, whatever...
