Sometimes I’d come across a random biography and be gobsmacked at how intense and biopic-worthy some existences are (esp. relative to mine).

Case in point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdynand_Antoni_Ossendowski

We really are products of the period we live in. “May you live in interesting times” can be such a blessing or a curse

“Pilecki volunteered to […] infiltrate Auschwitz” 😳

I’m at a loss for words

I guess you can only settle that question on your deathbed looking back

Is it a blessing or a curse to live in this time ?

I think life experiences from the period prior WWI to post WWII had undergone one of the most tumultuous period in human history in all fronts (tech, war, communication etc), though I won't short-change what our current and future generations are going and will go through (climate change, energy transition, AI/AGI, genomics,  space travel potentially)
