Calm waters, post up next to one of those big rocks, eat good food, Hakuna matata
Village by the sea…
+ ruins of a Byzantine, then Knights Hospitaller 🏰 (Feraklos)
📍 Charaki 🇬🇷
~ When Rhodes Town surrendered in December 1522, the Knights Hospitaller departed, but Feraklos Castle reportedly held out against Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent’s Ottoman forces until January 1523. According to local accounts, the fortress was eventually captured, and Suleiman allegedly ordered its inhabitants massacred. ~

You can still 'build' as every single thing runs through Pandora's box,
whether you are in bumfuck nowhere Ohio or on a beach in Greece.

Duh there is nuance. Balance comes to mind.
But 99.9999% of human history couldn't even IMAGINE the opportunities & experiences we have available now, so gratitude I most certainly have.

Oops #2 cut off
Has never considered that friendships, professional networks, and communities can exist across international borders. Thinks community requires sharing a ZIP code.
@MyLatinLife Woke pill is
The knights that surrendered,
Went to Malta.
And later destroyed the ottoman invincibility.
Lose the battle to win the war…
Or go out with honor like the defenders of Feraklos Castle ?
🤔
Wow
Just learned less then 40 years after the French Revolution
Many top dog aristocrats got compensated nicely & rebuilt their fortunes.
Also many made deals before this Charles X bailout to get their estates back.
Crazy how within one generation they confiscated to then public funded them.
Almost like they just wiped out the small dog aristocrats, gave that to the peasants, and the big dogs got richer ?
Can any French bros redpill me ?
