I haven't felt peer pressure at all since I hit my twenties. But I was bad at school, probably because I was lonely and desperate to be liked.

One of my most treasured (hard to pick one) is the day I said goodbye to my grandfather. He had been terminally ill with cancer for a year or two and it was obvious to everyone that it was getting close to the end. Luckily he lived his last days on earth in his own home, surrounded by his family and wife of 50 years. At the time I was doing my 1 year of service in the armed forces, more specifically the air force. Now this is rather important since my grandfather fought against the Nazis during their occupation of Norway. I had at that moment completed boot camp and training and was about to enter active service. I had just recieved my blue air force beret and was wearing a parade uniform. (even think I had some medal on it for completing some mundane march or exercise) That was his last impression of me. Even though he was incapable of saying so due to being so weak and frail, it was obvious that he was very proud of me. It was time for us to leave because I had to get back to camp and the last thing I said to him was "Untill next time." He just smiled at me because we both knew there wouldnt be a next time. He passed away 5 days later. It's a moment that has stuck with me. It was a goodbye like goodbye's should be and I am still in awe of how that man met his own demise. With dignity and grace.

Had I to pick my most treasured memory, it would probably be a period of my life, pertaining to a particular event, when I was most miserable and distressed. At this period, things happened that few people get the woeful chance to experience like I did. It taught me things about the world, things about people, and things about myself. Even though I was completely down, I never felt so human, so pathetically human. My happiest memory was the first evening I spent with my pal at the house we bought. It was late spring, a hatch through the ceiling was shedding a strip of light from a lonely lightbulb, fighting the darkness of the of the basement we were standing in. Everything was either black in the shadow or white in the light, there was music on the radio, and in this segment of reality outside of time and space, we were realizing: this was our home now.

What a pleasant, pleasing little chat. The sweater, the close shot, the cozily tight space, all of the aesthetics are there. What a wonderful thing it was to watch the different thoughts and emotions play out. Unscripted or at least authentic enough to feel unscripted and honest discussion. You are a wonderful guy and have definitely increased both my interest in and enjoyment of history. You may not have been a stellar dance teacher but you are a teacher. Thank you for your channel.

[@jimdandy2024]

my most treasured memory is as a baby, understanding a conversation when I hadn't yet learned how to speak. People may say rubbish. But you cannot learn to speak unless you can first understand others speaking. I remember that point. I was a baby being passed by my mother to my grandmother to hold. I remember my mother saying that I am her child and she is the child of my grandmother. I understood exactly what she was saying. The thing I remember most was a feeling of guilt, as a baby. because I started to cry. Because my grandmother was alien to me, so my grandmother gave me back to my mum, saying he is getting a bit teasy. I as a baby understood the conversation and also felt guilt for wanting to be given back to my mother. I feel our emotions are in built from before birth. We naturally "feel".

Could you do an origin of saluting. One of my relatives claimed it originates from knights flipping up their visors at superiors but mabye you know more?

[@saberint]

Itcame from Roman times... apparently. Knights flipped their visors to show their face to ensure no one was impersonating the knight.... then it changed to be a sign of respect. Then we used to doff our hat to an officer as a sign of respect, the hats became large and silly so we touched it instead. The UK’s forces salute differently apparently because the navy men used to have dirty hands to after a man saluted the queen with dirty hands she ordered that the navy should salute palm down... hope that helps!

I'd say the most important memory would probably have to be an important memory with the person who knows you best in life- the person who can best help you rebuild yourself. Make sure you're not a stranger to them, make sure it's a memory that shows you you trusted them, that you *can* trust them, and then through them (and your innate personality) rebuild who you are. perhaps you don't end up the same, but that's not necessarily bad.

[@mcpartridgeboy]

Hey thanks because i never had a gf i assumed i was never loved, i was getting a little depressed by that until i read your comment and you reminded me of a memory were i was away for a long time in fairly hostile countrys and i couldnt trust anyone, couldnt have a drink cuz i needed to be very wary, the day i came home i got blind drunk with my best friend and i couldnt walk, i was next to a canal, and my friend carried me home, it was nice to be able to truist someone that much after being in such a hostile environment for so long ! thanks !

[@TheArneschwindt]

Book of Genesis: „and god said....“ Language is the base of self awareness, defining us and our memories. Is there thinking without language? I don‘t think so. Charlemagne said:“learning another language is like getting another soul.“ I think he means the way a different language describes the world a bit different to the ones you spoke before it opens your mind to a different perspective. Just a thought... Lindy I love your videos, it’s not only learning about fire arrows and tanks, it’s also about perceiving a very English and Lindyish perspective about those things.

Lloyd is an interesting person. He's funny and charming but there is undeniable a sense of sadness down there

[@jacobrackham432]

I think that’s just him being honest. I believe that by the time we are adults most of us have experienced enough to have a deep sadness within. Just some hide it well, some won’t or don’t recognise it. Some even think it’s a weakness. I think it’s just one of the realities of life. It’s how we deal with it that can make or break us. Personally I see honesty as a great strength and likewise being able to share those darker/lower moments.

One of my favourites videos of yours is when you talked about the true meaning behind the Iliad. I don’t know if you have few or many friends now in your life but rest assured; at least 1 million people from all over the world love you and care for your well being. While thousands voices then awoke, mingled with these, few words I wrote; thanks for everything, I took note.

[@cowboyjohnn]

My most treasured memory was when I asked my then girlfriend on a beautiful sunny day on a hill overlooking the horse ranch to marry me i've never gotten to experience seeing so much joy and i don't know if i've ever felt that loved in a single moment then right there and although the story ends in a tragedy with a man getting involved and more heartaches and tears i can count or remember because of the whiskey with me having to leave her i can always remember that moment with picture clear vision and clarity and it always has brought a smile to my face even now as i write or should i say type this Doubt many will read this but i figured if lindy can share something so personal on the internet with strangers then why cant I thanks for reading and lindy if you do ever read this by some chance we care about you or at least I do as those scars on the heart never truly heal but the good memories never die either good night

[@faarsight]

Rule of thumb: it's never nurture *or* nature, it's always both.

[@quwykxz]

Not necessarily, I've met too many people that were nurtured with the utmost care, love, and respect, and yet they turned out to be complete rubbish as human beings. And conversely, I know folks who were raised in the meanest of circumstances, by awful parents, who became exemplars of kindness and wholesomeness. In both cases, it was all due to them rejecting their nurture, or lack thereof , and embracing their nature, for better or worse.

[@LELANTOS11]

@@quwykxz intentions have little to do with competent parenting unfortunately.

[@1IGG]

@@quwykxz Or they turned out like that (if it's even possible to measure it) because of the nurture. Bad examples can still be examples and thusly you do everything to avoid being like the person who you perceive as "bad".

[@NietzscheanMan]

Mainly nature though.

[@carbon1255]

@@quwykxz What you would consider loving care and respect don't actually translate to positive child outcomes. And if it is nature, their parents would have to be rubbish human beings. Good parenting is bedded in amoral aspects such as consistency, attention, liberal (allowing them to make mistakes, do dangerous things, injure themselves) and teaching them approaches to conflict by example. You can screw up royally as a parent and still be caring, loving and respectful. The big one out of the bat is that respect is earned, not given. Being respectful to awful behaviour is not a virtue.
