What - again...?
I'll be a rotten pig and say I can't feel myself into an event that happened without me being aware of it, even less if it happened before my birth. That's sentimentality, and some people find that heart-warming. Am I sad for Peking being conquered by the Mongoles? No. But that we are moving closer to using nukes again and that I see little argument how that can be prevented - this affects and troubles me much more.
