Great idea, There's a shop near to me that sells these contraptions. However, I'll wait until I see a specialist before I make such decisions.
BTW, I'm in England and not rich:>) and we just got a new PM that is trying to kill us oldies.

Thanks for the thought.

Nobody deserves sciatica -- there's no sin that warrants that pain. Sometimes it seems there's just no position you can be in to relieve it. I hope your specialist helps!

Aaaaah, someone who really understands

ETA: I do get good part days though

Another scenario you see this in in Arthur's tolerance of Gawaine's temper. Gawaine pulls some awful stunts(I recall him losing his temper and decapitating a woman), but Arthur understands this is due to the terrible emotional abuse and neglect on the part of Gawaine's mother, so forgives him every time(really, he doesn't even make an issue of it). It is a true virtue to love even those who seem, on the surface, a bit unlovable.

I would call those immoral character flaws on the part of Gawain's more severely, but Arthur as well.

I think it is a virtue in a way to love the unlovable in principle. I would say Arthur blindly loved him.

I idealized Arthur in the Camelot version, but he is none so innocent here. Perhaps he is more like King David of the Bible who pursues the highest virtues but often falls way short of it. But there are other ways of interpreting them.

Edward the III,arguably the greatest warlike king recreated the round table of Arthurian legend,tournaments and a code of honour,the three worst defeats of the French,Agincourt Crecy and Poitier put an end to these romantic ideals.

If I remember the history , he is the king referred to as long shanks.

 

[Watchmen]

I loved The Green Knight movie, so did a deep dive into the Arthurian legend of the same title. Love that stuff now!

 

[Augustus]

I am reading The Once and Future King(T.H. White), and really loving it.

It seems a series of smaller stories told within a greater one, often told in such a way it gets a person pondering life's greater mysteries. Every bit of the world is alive in these(as I feel it already is, even if we forget to acknowledge it).

There are elements of both Christianity and the religions before it, blending at times to create something uniquely beautiful, and clashing at others(as differences are sure to cause such).

There is a good series by The Last Kingdom author Bernard Cornwell

The Warlord Chronicles - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

They put it in a fictional historical context with the magical components left ambiguous as either real or the perception of the characters.

They are pretty good imo.

No that was Edward the first.

Edward I, the grandfather, was Longshanks.

I always thought it was Edward the III for some reason but your right. It was Edward I.

I'm chalking it up to another Mandela effect in my personal life.

I had to Google "Mandela effect." I'll keep that in mind for the future. I'm getting tired of saying I've had a Florida moment.

Lol. With this on top of everything else I'm this far from posting a thread about the Mandela Effect in the Paranormal forum.

I'm starting to really wonder now.

The first example of the Mandela Effect that came to my mind was the saying, "God helps those who help themselves." So many people believe that to be from the Bible when in fact it's a quote of Benjamin Franklin.

Benjamin Franklin was a polytheist who believed each world had its own god.

Benjamin Franklin was a polytheist who believed each world had its own god.

And with a Deist leaning, as most of his contemporaries, which left it up to mankind to do what needs to be done with all the Creator provided.

 

[Augustus]

Although they tended to believe that God had providentially provided for human flourishing and given humans the potential for understanding and delivering this.

Was sort of a liberal Christian morality without the other trappings of religion, doctrine or belief.

It was quite common around the Enlightenment era as folk wanted to underpin an idea of continual human progress that could be delivered through reason.

A very common one is of the Sun on Raisin Bran (Post?) wearing sunglasses. It never did

Yes, White's book was on the shelves at home when I was a kid and I loved it. You'll recall Wart's education where eg he's an ant learning the totalitarian lesson, "Everything not forbidden is compulsory!" ─ I notice that the editions I've seen later have edited out the section where the stones taught him the lesson "Cohere!"

If you're interested in the history of the legend of Arthur, Wikipedia is as good a place to start as any >King Arthur - Wikipedia<.

And while I'm a fan of Tennyson, I find his Arthurian stuff rather dull, with the magnificent exception of his early Morte d’Arthur (1833-4). If you don't know it, you could try it here >Morte d'Arthur<.

I very much remember the ant lesson(it sounded dreadfully dull to be an ant), but don't recall the stones teaching lessons. Mine must be a later edition.
