andromeda3116 wrote this insightful post about the lost generation that came of age during World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic. This is a great little history recap and there’s some really profound stuff in here that we can learn from today. The post also ends with one of my favorite Terry Pratchett quotes: “In a hundred years we’ll all be dead, but here and now, we are alive.”
