  Indeed. A group of people went through 15 years of financial hardship and horrific war and it made them so strong willed and determined to do something with surviving that. I’m grateful to not have to have gone through all that but also accept that they formed a certain wisdom we can’t appreciate fully. That era should be looked on like we do the renaissance, etc. Just a remarkable era that we still are building on today. The springboard.
