Debt to a dead man
Nov. 22nd, 2021 06:31 am I owe virtually everything I have to a man who died almost 122 years ago.
His home is now the museum that I've worked in for almost 20 years. It was there that I was set on my career path, that I met my fiancée, that I earned the money to buy my home. The above statement is really without exaggeration.
How would he have felt to know that? How would you react if you were told that, 83 years after you died, a person would be born who, when they reach adulthood, will owe their entire lives to your existence?
What a strange concept.
